Join Project Cargo & Breakbulk in the World’s Energy Capital
Across the Americas, the energy project market is booming. To tap into project opportunities, there’s no better place than Breakbulk Americas in Houston – it’s where project decisions are made and home to Port Houston, the nation’s largest port for waterborne tonnage and our host port.
Breakbulk Americas is the region's largest and longest-running trade event for the industry. Over the course of two days, you’ll make new connections with representatives from the entire supply chain, representing the key players in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and throughout Latin America. This is the must-attend event for anyone seeking new business opportunities in the global market.
The 2026 Agenda Is Live
Discover the trends, opportunities and challenges shaping the future of project logistics. Curated by Breakbulk Americas' Advisory Board of industry leaders, the 2026 agenda explores three powerful themes; Energy Projects, Trade Horizons and Risky Business across two dedicated stages, Breakbulk Live and Breakbulk Voices.
What's New for Breakbulk Americas 2026
Breakbulk Americas 2026 takes place on 22–23 September in Houston, delivering a more focused two-day exhibition designed to maximize time and impact. By concentrating activity into a shorter, sharper format, attendees can expect higher energy, stronger meeting density and more efficient opportunities to connect and do business.
The 2026 edition introduces a refreshed show floor with the removal of traditional pipe and drape stands. In its place, a cleaner, more contemporary build standard will elevate the overall look and feel creating a more professional environment that better reflects the scale and ambition of today’s global projects.
