Breakbulk Events & Media-Abu Dhabi
Breakbulk Events host over 15,000 specialized logisticians annually in event formats that are focused on business development, logistics transactions, new cargo connections and strategy. The events are held around the world in locations known as project cargo hubs for the wider regions. Experts are handpicked to deliver compelling talks on timely issues and opportunities for those in the breakbulk and project cargo industry. And, all delegates have the opportunity to network with shippers, carriers, forwarders and heavy transport specialists — offering a comprehensive breakbulk ecosystem no matter where in the world your business lies.
Breakbulk hosts seven events each year in Johannesburg, South Africa; Shanghai, China; Antwerp, Belgium; Houston, U.S.; Abu Dhabi, UAE; Istanbul, Turkey; and Sao Paulo, Brazil. But the connections and spread of knowledge don't pause between events. We also use print and digital media to keep our colleagues informed year round.

MOVING FORWARD
While many industry leaders have been steadfast participants in Breakbulk events, we — like these leaders — understand the industry's future depends on educating and attracting tomorrow's leaders. Each Breakbulk event includes workshops offering training for a variety of levels, from university students studying transportation and logistics at our Education Day to targeted courses for forwarders and heavy-lift specialists.
At the 25th anniversary of Breakbulk Americas, we talked with Greg Gowans, Director, Logistics & Expediting at CH2M HILL and longtime educator and speaker at Breakbulk events, about the importance of breakbulk outreach to young professionals.
Breakbulk has also embraced the digital age and is constantly looking for new ways to help our customers connect and stay informed. Breakbulk.com hosts on average 75,000 visits a month, which surges to 100,000+ as each big event approaches. We've introduced an app for each of our major events — China, Europe and Americas — that makes it easy for delegates, exhibitors and sponsors to connect with one another during a show, as well as providing a platform for continued communication. BreakbulkTV is our latest venture, showcasing the experts who share their knowledge and experience at the conferences, as well as providing an outlet to capture the drama of moving the world's biggest cargoes.
As of Jan. 1, 2015, Breakbulk became part of the ITE Group, one of the world's leading organizers of international trade exhibitions and conferences. Headquartered in London, ITE Group each year handles more than 240 exhibitions and conferences, for a diverse range of industries — from health and beauty to mining, engineering, oil & gas, energy, construction & machinery, and of course, transportation & logistics.
