Add to calendar 09/23/2026 08:30 09/23/2026 08:30 MOVE, BREATHE, RESET Yoga for the Real World No mat. No yoga clothes. No flexibility required.

This short, accessible yoga experience is designed specifically for the realities of a busy conference day.

After hours of sitting, standing, networking, traveling and taking in information, Stressie invites attendees to step away from their screens, reconnect with their bodies and reset their energy through simple movement and breath for another day at Breakbulk.

Participants will move through an energizing sequence of standing yoga, mobility, stretching and breathwork designed to release tension from the places we tend to hold it most: the neck, shoulders, spine, hips and mind.

Everything can be done in work clothes and modified for different bodies and mobility levels.

Add to calendar 09/23/2026 10:30 09/23/2026 10:30 BEYOND AI: The Inner Tech We Still Need As AI becomes increasingly embedded in the way we work, the skills that make us distinctly human become even more valuable.

Beyond AI is an interactive wellness session exploring the intelligence that technology cannot replace: our emotional, social and collective intelligence.

Participants will move beyond the technology conversation and turn inward, exploring how we read ourselves, understand others, communicate under pressure and create better outcomes together.

Through short experiential exercises, paired conversations and group reflection, attendees will practice the human skills that support stronger leadership, healthier teams and more meaningful connection.

Add to calendar 09/23/2026 11:30 09/23/2026 11:30 Beyond the Crate: What Every Breakbulk Professional Should Know About Export Packing Export packing is often one of the most overlooked parts of planning an international shipment, yet the way cargo is prepared can directly impact handling, transportation, cost, and ultimately whether it arrives safely at its destination. “Beyond the Crate: What Every Breakbulk Professional Should Know About Export Packing” is an interactive workshop that takes participants behind the scenes of preparing breakbulk and project cargo for international transportation.

Attendees will learn how cargo characteristics, dimensions and weight, lifting and handling requirements, transportation mode, environmental exposure, and moisture and corrosion risks influence packing decisions. Participants will also explore common export packing methods, including skidding, crating, blocking and bracing, and protective barriers, while learning what information should be provided when requesting packing services.

Through real-world cargo examples, attendees will be challenged to “think like an export packer” and determine how they would approach different packing scenarios. Participants will leave better equipped to identify potential issues, ask the right questions, and make more informed decisions when planning international shipments.
