Women in Breakbulk: Women in the breakbulk and project cargo business are still often ‘the only woman in the room’ so our aim is to provide a vibrant platform to help build diversity throughout the industry, at all levels and in all regions.

Connecting project decision makers, the BGSN focuses on the activities and topics important to those working in engineering, procurement and construction, oil and gas, chemicals, renewables and other energy sectors, industrial manufacturing, mining and metals, forestry, and aerospace.

An outgrowth of Breakbulk’s Education Day program offered at all Breakbulk events, this group joins students interested in a career in any industry sector with working professionals. Breakbulk collaborates with its host cities to support industry growth and help fill a significant talent gap.
