It’s funny that the word “bulk” is in the name of this conference because the sheer “bulk” of people who will be brought together for this event is astounding!
The Breakbulk Americas conference typically has over 4500 attendees, 200 exhibits and more than 350 global shippers.
This is the region’s largest trade event for the project cargo, warehousing and the breakbulk industry. There are networking events to attend and a large expo to explore during this two-day conference program.
More shippers attend Breakbulk Americas than any other breakbulk event, so if you can only attend just one, this is it.
The conference is held each year in Houston, Texas, usually in September.
10. Manifest
Another whopper of a conference, Manifest boasts over 4500 attendees and 1200 starters and investors looking to jumpstart their e-commerce business.
With 250 world-class speakers and more than 50 countries represented, this international conference is very popular with those looking for the best in 3PL and traditional logistic strategies.
