The Global Shipper Programme is our dedicated experience for cargo owners at each Breakbulk event. It’s designed for senior breakbulk and project cargo shippers working across the engineering, manufacturing and production of industrial projects. From tailored outreach before the event, to a dedicated space on-site and curated networking opportunities, it’s designed to help shippers connect with the right people, quickly and efficiently. Joining the Global Shipper Programme at any of our shows, unlocks access to dedicated learning and networking opportunities at the world's leading breakbulk events.

Breakbulk’s NextWave Programme is a dedicated initiative designed to engage, support and retain emerging talent as they build their knowledge, networks and careers within the industry. The programme aims to help address the industry’s skills shortage and bridge the talent gap by supporting the next generation both before and during their careers through two distinct initiatives: NextWave Education Day, for students exploring opportunities in the industry, and NextWave 30, recognising and connecting young professionals already working within it.

The Women in Breakbulk programme is by women, for women, shaped by those who understand both the opportunities and the realities of working across global projects and heavy industry. Many participants know what it's like to be the only woman in the room, whether that room is a ship, a jobsite or a boardroom. From early-career professionals to senior leaders, Women in Breakbulk brings together a global community with shared experience. The programme includes a dedicated breakfast and a Women in Breakbulk lounge on the show floor, creating spaces to connect, exchange ideas and recharge during the event.
