2026 Event Agenda Sessions
What If? Mapping the Future of American Manufacturing
If manufacturing and industrial investment accelerate across the US, how will that impact project logistics, transportation and infrastructure? Built around two contrasting future scenarios selected from Breakbulk’s first scenario writing contest, this session moves past current industry hurdles to dive into strategic planning for 2030. Join industry leaders as they debate the practical realities, infrastructure requirements and strategic choices of each path, and then examine the choices companies may need to make now to prepare for the industrial supply chain of 2030.
Join the conversation. This session is built around future scenarios submitted to the Breakbulk Americas Scenario Writing Contest. If you have your own vision for how manufacturing, infrastructure and project logistics could evolve by 2030, we want to hear it.
