With delegate passes selling at a rapid clip, and overall participation already up by 26.67% over last year’s inaugural edition, the organisers of Geneva Dry are warning the event is set to be sold out in the coming days.
There are less than 20 tickets left for sale.
This year’s biggest dedicated dry bulk gathering is on track to host more than 800 delegates at the Hotel President Wilson on the shore of Lake Geneva with organisers working with the hotel to reconfigure and enlarge the layout of the event space to accommodate the increased number of visitors to the world’s premier commodities shipping summit, taking place on April 28 and 29.
“The momentum has been phenomenal as the days tick down to the second edition of Geneva Dry. However, there comes a time where we feel very fortunate to be in the position to cut off sales. In a way, there’s no better sign that an event is a success than when an organiser decides to turn away cash,” commented co-founder Sam Chambers, who added that the 2026 edition, also scheduled for April 28 and 29, will cater for up to 1,000 delegates.
Geneva Dry brings together all elements of the commodities shipping sector to host the ultimate dry bulk shipping event.
Split into sectors, panels will bring together analysts, financiers, miners, traders, and shipowners to discuss where the markets are headed. Sessions include:
Based on feedback from delegates to last year’s debut event, the organisers of Geneva Dry have added two specialist workshops to this year’s conference.
On the morning of April 28, delegates will be able to attend both the Crewing In The Digital Age workshop as well as the Risk Management In Dry Bulk session prior to the main conference launching after lunch.
The crewing workshop, sponsored by Inmarsat, is designed to give delegates ideas on how to harness and standardise the digital revolution sweeping through shipping, while the risk management hour, sponsored by Paratus, will offer important insights into fuel price risks, contract and counterparty risk, as well as geopolitical risk.
