2026 Event Agenda Sessions

Future Thinkers Super Session: Future-Proofing Project Logistics with Industry Leaders

Preparing for the upcoming multi-decade wave of major projects requires a fundamental shift from reactive logistics to strategic asset and capacity positioning. As industrial buildouts accelerate across energy, manufacturing, mining and infrastructure, project cargo service providers face growing uncertainty from trade policy, tariffs and geopolitical volatility, alongside real opportunity for those positioned to act.

Breakbulk's Future Thinkers have spent the past year identifying trends across three core disciplines: maritime and ports, supply chain and logistics, and energy and infrastructure projects. This session marks the first time they report those findings directly to the Breakbulk community, in a series of three mini-sessions. Each group shares its best advice for what lies ahead through 2030. Together, Future Thinkers and the audience close the session by building an action plan to make the most of the opportunities ahead.
