Benefits of attending
Most Visibility of Any Sector Means More Attention
Heavy haulers and equipment providers steal the show at Breakbulk Americas with huge equipment and eye-catching displays. That’s how they get the attention of the largest gathering of shippers and project forwarders in the project cargo and breakbulk sector. This concentration of potential clients provides unmatched opportunities for road transport and equipment providers to forge new partnerships that lead to new contracts.
Conference Content Designed for You
Breakbulk Americas hosts the largest number of road transport and equipment providers out of the three Breakbulk events, making Americas the place for you. It also means content that will supply useful intelligence for your strategic plans. Small modular reactors (still big enough to require specialized transportation) will be discussed, along with new demands for chip manufacturing plants. You’ll also learn where investment in new projects will be made.

Main Stage sessions will be followed by round table discussions led by panelists to provide an opportunity for meaningful conversations in a small group. You’ll also find exceptional networking at Tuesday’s Women in Breakbulk event and at Port Houston’s After-party at The Rustic.
