"We look forward to bringing our ABA’s Marketplace and Busworld North America back to Philadelphia in 2025," said Peter Pantuso, ABA president/CEO. “Our last time there was in 2011, and since then the city has reinvented itself as a booming cultural and culinary destination.”

Pantuso noted that Philadelphia has it all when it comes to hosting an event like ABA’s Marketplace, “from the beautiful waterfront with its attractions, to the world-class museums and historic sites, to quaint neighborhoods and restaurants offering every dish imaginable, we are so excited to bring our 3,400-plus members to this city.”

“We are thrilled Philadelphia has been selected as the host city for the 2025 American Bus Association’s Marketplace and Busworld North America,” said Gregg Caren, Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau president/CEO. “We look forward to welcoming back the ABA to our city after 14 years. Our extraordinary Pennsylvania Convention Center, first-rate hotels, and thriving culinary scene will demonstrate why Philadelphia is an exceptional convention destination.”
