Breakbulk Americas is the region’s most influential project cargo event.
From humble beginnings in 1990, to its current industry-leading form, the event has expanded greatly over the past 30 years. Now, it’s project cargo’s must-attend event; a global gathering of industry players looking to do, or continue, business throughout the Americas.
Why do you need to be there? Here are five big reasons…
Looking for a similar event in the Americas? You’ll have to look very hard. Breakbulk Americas is the only exhibition of its kind anywhere in the region.
Our uniqueness lets us function as more than just a B2B network hub. This is the community’s meeting point – a place to catch up with current clients, uncover new talents, become aware of the latest developments in heavy lift transport, and embrace the entire project cargo sector in one place, at one time.
From the tiniest seeds, the biggest sequoia trees grow and it’s the same for our event attendance figures. When Breakbulk Americas first started back in 1990, we hosted just 100 attendees.
Now, we welcome more than 4,700 cargo owners, port and terminal operators, heavy lift companies, carriers and shippers from across the globe, at each event edition.
In 2019 we’re predicting 450 exhibitors will take part, alongside more than 5,000 visitors from North, Central and Southern America.
Whatever your level of breakbulk involvement, or whatever sphere you operate in, you belong here.
When we say this is the Americas’ no.1 project cargo event, we mean it. Just take a look at our attendees. They represent some of the largest cargo owners in the world.
Breakbulk Americas attracts the biggest oil & gas companies, as well as many of the top-ranked global engineering, procurement and construction firms who attend the event to network with one another and find new supply chain partners. In fact, more shippers attend Breakbulk Americas than any other Breakbulk event.
The likes of Bechtel, Aramco, Fluor, Mitsubishi Hitachi, Haliburton, GE, Lockheed Martin, NASA, and many more companies needing the big stuff moved attend, our shows.
What’s more, the Breakbulk Americas VIP shippers program hosts even more worldwide freight owners, greatly adding to the event’s networking offering.
These are the contract holders carriers want to meet. You can reach them exclusively at Breakbulk Americas.
When people think of Americas, they usually focus solely on the US. But with exciting opportunities happening throughout the region, and an Americas-centric project cargo recovery underway, there is much more to discover here.
That’s why Breakbulk Americas presents companies and projects working from Canada’s mostly northerly point, down to the tip of Argentina and everywhere in between, including the Caribbean.
Our one region, one event approach lets you take an overview of one of the most promising heavy lift geographies in the world.
For more information on what the Americas has to offer, check out our regional reviews on North and Central America (stay tuned for part three focusing on South America’s project cargo potential).
Breakbulk Americas takes place at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.
Why’s that so important? Houston is oil & gas country, location of the largest hydrocarbons complexes anywhere on the planet, and effectively the spiritual home of American energy.
By positioning ourselves at the nerve center of the US oil industry, we can connect attendees with the majors investing billions into exciting new developments. According to analysts GlobalData, oil & gas companies are prepping $76bn in new US-wide projects, with more to come across Canada and Latin America too.
Easy facetime with the EPCs and oil & gas majors is what you get at Breakbulk Americas. Given the energy sector is one of the heavy-lift intense industries worldwide, our Houston HQ makes us the perfect source of energy equipment transport contracts.
Breakbulk Americas is where the project cargo opportunities will be, as well as the region’s largest gathering of sector professionals.
We can’t wait to see you there. Register your interest in attending the show, and get ready to take your operations in the Americas to the next level.
