Special priced hotel rooms are now ready for booking for next year’s Geneva Dry, the world’s premier annual commodities shipping summit, scheduled for April 28 and 29.
Organisers have secured room discounts at the Hotel President Wilson, the five-star establishment hosting the event. Facing Lake Geneva and minutes away from the most beautiful parks and boutiques along the famous Rue du Rhône, the iconic hotel is one of the most contemporary addresses in Geneva.
Organisers have also secured an additional 185 rooms across five hotels owned by the Manotel Group, all located near the Wilson.
Geneva Dry delegate passes are also available online, with event director Grant Rowles reminding potential sign-ups today to think about booking early.
“The first two editions of Geneva Dry sold out in advance, and we had to turn many people away. We are anticipating another sell-out show for 2026, so do fix your reservations fast to avoid disappointment,” Rowles said.
The annual Geneva Dry, which debuted in 2024, is fast becoming one of the most influential shipping conferences in the world, bringing together shipowners, charterers, traders, brokers, tech firms and analysts for high-level dialogue across the entire dry bulk value chain—from operational realities to macroeconomic drivers.
John Xylas, the chairman of INTERCARGO, the international association for dry bulk, shipping’s largest sector, commented: “Geneva Dry delivers sharp insight and meaningful dialogue, a standout event in the maritime year and Switzerland is the perfect host.”
Latest speaker highlights include Alex Albertini, CEO of Marfin Management, Bas Van Steijnen, chief risk officer at Nova Marine Carriers, Jason Martinet, head of trading at Triton Bulk, Peter Lye, executive head of marketing – shipping and safety at Anglo American, Tim Huxley, the CEO of Mandarin Shipping, Willem Vermaat, shipping director at Heidelberg Materials Trading, and William Fairclough, managing director at Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings.
