Why Visit?
The region’s largest trade event for the project cargo and breakbulk industry
Breakbulk Americas is the event for all those involved in the project cargo and breakbulk industry working in this project-rich region. Focused on companies and projects from Canada down to the tip of Argentina and the Caribbean, this is the place to expand your network and your business whether you’re a forwarder, port, carrier or other specialized service provider supporting industrial projects and breakbulk shipments.
The world's hub for energy
Due to its Houston location, the world's hub for energy, Breakbulk Americas attracts the biggest oil & gas and renewables companies, as well as many of the top-ranked global engineering, procurement and construction firms who attend the event to network with one another and find new supply chain partners. In fact, more shippers attend Breakbulk Americas than any other Breakbulk event.
Get ahead of the curve
The main stage program, included with every Breakbulk Americas ticket, was developed in collaboration with our Americas Advisory Board. This year’s program will identify potential in mining, oil & gas, renewables and manufacturing sectors, do a deep dive into Latin America projects and feature Melanie Kenderdine, Principal – Vice President, Energy Futures Initiative, in a keynote on Thursday morning: U.S. Energy Futures. You’ll come away with a game plan for new business.
Why just visit when you can exhibit?
Many of the exhibitors you'll meet on the show floor started their Breakbulk experience as a visitor. They quickly realized they would get more out of the experience by becoming an exhibitor, and they've been coming back for years.
