Welcome Reception
**This event was held at Breakbulk Americas 2025 which is now over**
KICK OFF 35TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS AT THE WELCOME RECEPTION
Sponsored by Cooper/Ports America, the Welcome Reception will open Breakbulk Americas in a relaxed, fun setting, giving you time to connect with friends old and new, on the show floor.
Joining the party will be a DJ, alongside drinks and nibbles. This year’s theme is Mardi Gras, celebrating our roots and taking us back to New Orleans, where Breakbulk began 35 years ago. Immerse yourself in Breakbulk Americas as you take the time to explore the show floor whilst making pit-stops at the various bars throughout.
The Global Experience Lounge, sponsored by Florida Ports Council, will also be open for business with a bar ready and waiting. This is your first opportunity to identify the decision-makers you want to know more about over the next two days.
Tuesday, Sept. 30 from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Entry is free with your Breakbulk Americas badge.
