Dry bulk’s annual summit has recruited its best speaker line-up to date. Geneva Dry, set to return to the Hotel President Wilson on April 28 and 29 next year, has managed to attract a unique blend of charterers and shipowners for its highly anticipated third edition. Emily Koo, group managing director of Hong Kong bluechip owner TCC Group, Jonathan Canaan, global ocean freight director at grains giant ADM, along with Torbjørn Gjervik, CEO of Oslo’s Western Bulk, Kalli Livanos, chief commercial officer at Greece’s Kyla Shipping, Mads Petersen, COO at US operator Pangaea Logistics Solutions, Malgorzata Gill, chartering manager, at cement powerhouse Holcim Trading, and Robert Haggquist, charterer and decarbonisation lead at Australian miner South32 are the latest names to be added to Geneva Dry’s stellar speaker line-up, ensuring it will be one of 2026’s highest calibre shipping gatherings. 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. Geneva Dry delivers sharp insight and meaningful dialogue This year’s edition saw 825 delegates from more than 40 countries attend the two-day event, with organisers forced to issue a Sold Out sign in the weeks leading up to the April event. Commented John Xylas, the chairman of INTERCARGO, the international association for dry bulk, shipping’s largest sector: “Geneva Dry has quickly established itself as a must-attend event on the maritime calendar. As a speaker representing INTERCARGO, I found it to be a unique platform for honest, high-level discussion on the future of dry bulk shipping. Geneva Dry delivers sharp insight and meaningful dialogue, a standout event in the maritime year, and Switzerland is the perfect host.” The 2026 version – due to be held on April 28 and 29 – opens with the Commodities Shipping Outlook and is followed by a risk management session then a special looking at AI, digitalisation and the dry bulk workforce, before closing out day one with the always popular hour devoted to the future of fixing. Day two starts with a digital drivers panel before moving onto the dry decarbonisation session, at which point the conference closes out with cargo-specific panels on minor bulks, agri-commodities, coal and iron ore.
