Sign-ups to next year’s Geneva Dry – the world’s premier commodities shipping summit – are pouring in with organisers finalising the session line-ups for dry bulk’s biggest annual gathering.
With hundreds of delegates already confirmed for the April 28 – 29 event, the 2026 edition is already growing faster than this year’s sold-out conference.
“It’s amazing for a conference that is only two editions old to have become established so quickly on the maritime calendar as evidenced by all these early sign-ups,” commented Grant Rowles, co-founder of Geneva Dry.
Companies and organisations who have confirmed their attendance already include: Affinity Shipping, Ambica Logistics, Anglo American, Banchero Costa, Banchero Costa, Beaufort Shipping, Blue Astra Maritime, BPG Shipping, Bureau Veritas, Cetus Maritime, CTM, Devbulk, Geoserve, Global Risk Management, Heidelberg Materials Trading, IFCHOR Galbraiths, Inmarsat, ISA International Ship Agents, Lloyd’s List Intelligence, Mandarin Shipping, Marfin Management, Nova Marine Carriers, Oceanbulk Maritime, Ore & Metal Co, Pangaea Logistics Solutions, Paratus, Petro Inspect, SCG/Chevsa Enterprises, SeaTrek Bulk, SEDNA, SSY, Star Bulk, SwissMarine, TCC Group, The Shipping Collective, Trafigura, Triton Bulk, Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings, and the World Economic Forum.
Geneva Dry brings 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 in shipping’s biggest segment.
The 2026 version opens with two digital focused workshops, followed by a commodities outlook, then a session on risk management followed by a spotlight on chartering. Day Two opens with a digital efficiency drivers session, then moves onto decarbonisation, followed by familiar sessions on minor bulks, agri-commodities, coal and iron ore.
Commented John Xylas, the chairman of INTERCARGO: “Geneva Dry delivers sharp insight and meaningful dialogue, a standout event in the maritime year and Switzerland is the perfect host.”
