The Breakbulk2027 event, organized by Journal of Commerce by S&P Global, will be held May 3 – 5, 2027 in New Orleans. 

Founded three decades ago and reestablished as an annual event by Journal of Commerce in 2019, Breakbulk27 is based on an editorially independent, data-driven and rigorous conference program developed by the Journal of Commerce’s journalists and analysts in collaboration with senior industry leaders and subject matter experts. 

Breakbulk27’s in-depth conference program delves into the most pressing challenges affecting breakbulk and project cargo shippers across the globe. The conference’s focus sessions are a unique opportunity for industry members to learn from and add to high-level, interactive conversations on key industry topics, while a popular interactive project cargo case study will invite industry newcomers and veterans alike to learn from top industry experts. 

Breakbulk27 attracts the most knowledgeable, high-level project and breakbulk cargo maritime audience in the industry. In addition to presenting the conference program, Breakbulk27 serves as a platform for essential and intensive networking, negotiations, and relationship-building within the project and breakbulk logistics supply chain. Shippers, carriers, forwarders, land transport providers, technology providers, ports, terminals, railroads, and others who participate in this market can interact in an environment enriched by of-the-moment ideas, data, forecasts and debate. 

The Journal of Commerce by S&P Global, founded in 1827, is the leading specialized information provider in international transportation and logistics, and leads independent, authoritative coverage of the end-to-end international supply chain, including breakbulk, air and ocean, ports, trucking, intermodal, and technology.
