Breakbulk Europe will return to Bremen for the third consecutive year in 2020, organizer ITE Group announced. On the 3rd of April, the company signed an agreement with the Federal state of Bremen and Bremen Ports confirming the German port as their location for next year as well. 

“Breakbulk Europe returning to Bremen also in 2020 is great news for our location,” said Martin Günthner, Minister of Economic Affairs, Labour and Ports of the Federal State of Bremen, Germany. “Bremen breathes trade and logistics, is one of the main breakbulk ports in Europe and therefore the logical choice as host of Breakbulk Europe. We are glad that we were able to convince ITE to come to Bremen for the third year in a row.”

Nick Davison, Portfolio Director for Breakbulk Events, ITE Group said:  “We are delighted to be returning to the historic city of Bremen for the third year in a row. Bremen has really stepped up its commitment to provide the services to support this event. In fact, the city will provide free public transportation on its trams and trains to make traveling between the venue, hotels, restaurants and popular tourist sites around town convenient to all participants.”

The 2020 announcement comes very early since Breakbulk Europe 2019 has yet to take place. Davison noted that the early announcement was made in consideration of all Breakbulk Europe attendees and companies that will exhibit at this year’s event, from 21-23 May.

“As an organizer with more than 200 international events, we know it takes months of rigorous planning to make an event the size of Breakbulk Europe successful,” Davison said. “Like with us, exhibiting companies also have much to plan as they prepare for this event. We wanted to share the location and dates for Breakbulk Europe 2020 as early as possible to help our current customers and those who wish to join us next year.” In 2020 the event will take place on 26-28 May.
