The BGSN is a global community of cargo owners involved in the logistics and transportation of oversized, heavy-lift, and project cargo. To maintain the integrity of this network and ensure it delivers value to its members, BGSN tickets are reserved exclusively for professionals who:

  • Represent companies that own, produce, or procure cargo (e.g., EPCs, OEMs, energy companies, mining firms, etc.)

  • Are directly responsible for project logistics, procurement, or supply chain decisions involving breakbulk and project cargo

  • Do not provide third-party logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain services to cargo owners

If your company does not fall within this category, we would still love to welcome you to the event with a Visitor Ticket, which offers full access to the exhibition floor, networking opportunities, and content sessions.
