Across the Americas, the energy project market is booming. From large-scale power generation to renewables and beyond, opportunities are accelerating — and tapping into them means being where the conversations happen.

That’s why I’m heading to Breakbulk Americas in Houston (Sept 30 – Oct 2). As the region’s largest and longest-running trade event, it’s the one place where the entire project cargo and breakbulk supply chain comes together — from Canada and the U.S., to Mexico and across Latin America.

Houston couldn’t be a better host. With Port Houston — the nation’s largest port for waterborne tonnage — anchoring the city, it’s the ideal backdrop for an event where real project decisions are made.

Why I’m Attending

For me, attending Breakbulk Americas is about people first. Recruitment in logistics and project cargo is all about building long-term relationships, and this event is a unique opportunity to:

• Connect directly with industry leaders and decision-makers who are shaping the future of energy and project logistics.

• Gain real-time insights into the challenges and opportunities companies are facing — from tariffs and trade shifts to the future of carriers.

• Spot emerging trends that will influence hiring needs, skill gaps, and talent pipelines across the Americas.

• Strengthen my network across the supply chain — from shippers to carriers, EPCs, and service providers.

It’s not just about attending sessions; it’s about the conversations in between — the introductions, the shared perspectives, and the connections that continue well beyond Houston.
