About

Returning for its second year to the Breakbulk & Project Cargo Conference, Breakbulk Academy will include a two-part, interactive case study analyzing the complex nature of delivering project cargo on Thursday, April 24. The focus, over the course of two sessions, will include high-level discussion about sourcing, regulatory issues, and transportation challenges. An experienced team of subject matter experts will guide attendees through the critical steps required in the design, procurement, and movement of such cargo. Attendees will also collaborate to propose recommendations when unplanned, uncontrollable events disrupt well-laid plans and force them to find alternative solutions so that they can sustain delivery promises.

On Friday, April 25, the academy will provide an opportunity for industry experts across the carrier, shipper, forwarding, and ports and terminals spectrum to meet with interested newcomers and students in an hourlong “Introduction to the Industry” session.

Full-time students enrolled in a logistics or shipping-related educational track at an accredited university or college are welcome to attend Breakbulk25 at no charge.

On Thursday morning, April 24, the Breakbulk team will hold a meet-and-greet "icebreaker" session aimed at industry newcomers, industry women and other interested industry members who would like to strengthen their networking connections.

Stay tuned for information on our new “ask the expert” Focus Sessions, coming soon.
