The region’s largest trade event for the project cargo and breakbulk industry

2020 Conference Topics

Breakbulk Events & Media content team conduct extensive research to determine the most important topics to bring to the industry for discussion at Breakbulk events. By surveying industry leaders across the supply chain, analyzing news and commentary from a variety of sources and talking directly with customers, topics are identified that will bring the most benefit to our audiences as they plan for the future.

Some of the topics are global and will be presented across the Breakbulk portfolio with regional angles, and will evolve from one year to the next. Others are specific to the event region. All topics are supported throughout the year by our media products as part of Breakbulk365. Together, Breakbulk’s Newswire, BreakbulkONE newsletter and show, webinars, news site and Breakbulk magazine, are great lead ins to the live discussions at Breakbulk events.

At Breakbulk Americas 2020, you’ll find a compelling collection of topics. Panels will include diverse perspectives and focus on opportunities ahead to streamline operations, grow new business and adjust to changing market conditions.
