Geneva Dry Conference 2026: Agenda, Speakers, and Market Outlook - News and Statistics

Apr 14, 2026

Organizers are finalizing preparations for the upcoming Geneva Dry conference, according to Splash247. The event, described as a premier commodities shipping conference, is scheduled for April 28 and 29 at a hotel on the Lake Geneva shoreline.

The summit for the dry bulk shipping segment will feature its largest and most high-caliber speaker lineup to date. Senior executives from numerous companies including ADM, Anglo American, Bahri, Cetus Maritime, CTM, Drydel, Himalaya Shipping, Klaveness, Louis Dreyfus, Oldendorff, Seanergy Maritime, South32, Star Bulk, SwissMarine, Trafigura, Vale, Wah Kwong, and Western Chartering are set to participate. These speakers will analyze market conditions and provide perspectives on the sector’s direction for the next two years.

A director of the event noted that the industry faces a complex environment where trade patterns are shifting due to geopolitical factors, conflicts are affecting key transit points, and new regulations are emerging rapidly. Technological change is also altering commercial processes. In this context, merely observing the market is considered insufficient; active engagement is required.

Additional activities include a specialist workshop on digital topics on the morning of April 28, which will operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Various social gatherings and side events are also planned around the city during the final week of April.

The conference agenda begins with a welcome address by a local official. The first day includes sessions on the commodities shipping outlook, risk management, and the impact of digitalization and artificial intelligence on the workforce, concluding with a discussion on market fixing. The second day starts with a panel informed by the prior workshop, followed by sessions on decarbonization and cargo-specific discussions covering minor bulks, agricultural commodities, coal, and iron ore.

Over seven hundred industry figures are expected to attend. A lengthy list of participating companies and organizations was provided, encompassing a wide range of shipping, trading, logistics, financial, and service firms.
