Breakbulk Americas 2026 runs 22–23 September at Houston's George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas

The Cooperative Logistics Network has been named Official Partner of Breakbulk Americas 2026, the Americas region's longest-standing exhibition dedicated to the project cargo and breakbulk industry. The 2026 edition arrives as the U.S. project market enters one of its largest capital investment cycles in a generation, driven by major spending across manufacturing, critical minerals, advanced nuclear, semiconductor fabrication, data centres, and power generation.

The event brings together the project owners and decision-makers responsible for selecting carriers, ports, freight forwarders, and other logistics providers for major projects. Companies such as Bechtel, ExxonMobil, Fluor, GE, Shell, and SpaceX are among the project organisations attending Breakbulk Americas.

A Programme Built Around Project Owners

Under the theme Moving Projects Forward, Breakbulk Americas 2026 introduces a redesigned conference programme connecting project owners, EPCs, manufacturers, logistics providers, and technology companies.

The programme features two stages. Breakbulk Live will host headline sessions, including an Energy Opportunity Super Session exploring major energy projects over the next 20 years. The new Voices Stage offers smaller, interactive sessions, including an Innovation Pitch programme showcasing new solutions to project executives and technology leaders.

The event also introduces NextWave 30, extending the Education Day programme to early-career professionals and giving them a foothold in the skills the project cargo industry will need going forward.

Connecting Cooperative Members with the Project Cargo Community

Breakbulk Americas gives freight forwarders direct access to project owners, EPCs, manufacturers, carriers, ports, and equipment providers, making it a key platform for building business relationships and uncovering new opportunities in project cargo.

The Cooperative Logistics Network encourages its members involved in project cargo and breakbulk logistics to attend Breakbulk Americas 2026 as a chance to expand their professional networks, connect with major project stakeholders, and gain insight into the investment and infrastructure trends driving project cargo demand across the Americas.
