Two of the most important events in the logistics and breakbulk industries will co-locate in Antwerp in October 2025 to unite professionals across the entire supply chain.
The Transport & Logistics conference and exhibition has long been established as a meeting place for the Benelux industry. It brings together 11,000 experts to network and discover how to foster seamless pan-European hinterland connections, covering all cargo types, storage, and value-added logistics.
AntwerpXL is a specialized event that gathers 3,800 project cargo, RoRo, and heavy lift professionals to forge partnerships, streamline processes, and solve challenges within the breakbulk supply chain.
The two complementary events will now run side by side at the Antwerp Expo on 14-16 October 2025, supported by the Host Sponsor, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges.
Additionally, Logistic & Industrial Build will run alongside AntwerpXL and Transport & Logistics at the Antwerp Expo. This event focuses on the logistics real estate market, providing visitors with even more reasons to attend.
“This move is incredibly exciting for AntwerpXL,” explains Margaret Dunn, the event’s Portfolio Director. “The event will remain a focused breakbulk conference and exhibition, bringing together all the key players in one hall in the heart of the breakbulk industry in Antwerp. However, it will also provide an additional opportunity for the industry to meet and network with the wider transport and logistics communities, creating new potential growth and partnership opportunities across the supply chain.”
Both events will benefit from increased attendance from ports and terminals, freight forwarders, logistics managers, shippers, and transportation managers.
“This combination will create a must-attend event for the transport and logistics, breakbulk, container, and maritime industries,” says Nadine Francus, Group Event Director for Transport & Logistics.
Annick Dekeyser, Marketing Advisor for the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, adds, “Co-locating AntwerpXL with Transport & Logistics creates new opportunities for participants to explore collaborations beyond their own industry. Companies will benefit from the synergies between the two events. The main asset of AntwerpXL for the breakbulk community is networking, and this is also a real driver for Transport & Logistics.”
Both events will take place at the Antwerp Expo on 14-16 October 2025.
