12th Annual ICS Canada Dry Bulk & Commodities Conference

• Date Thursday, November 19, 2026

Overview

The 12th Annual Dry Bulk and Commodities Conference returns on 19 November 2026 at the Vancouver Convention Centre, bringing together leaders from across Canada's marine, mining, and commodities sectors. This year's theme-"Charting a New Course: Canada's Competitive Edge in a Fragmented World"-explores how critical minerals and maritime logistics will shape Canada's economic resilience and global positioning in the decade ahead.

The conference features two dynamic sessions designed to provide both market intelligence and strategic insight. The morning program will spotlight freight market expectations for the year ahead, with presentations from ship owners and commodity charterers exporting from Canada. Their perspectives will offer a clear view of emerging trends, risks, and opportunities across dry bulk trades.

In the afternoon, participants will engage in a focused deep‑dive through a moderated round‑table discussion. This year's session brings together ship owners, exporters, and port representatives for a timely conversation on Arctic shipping and the potential for expanded export activity through the Port of Churchill. The panel will examine commercial feasibility, infrastructure considerations, and the broader implications for Canada's northern supply chains.

Registration is now open! Join industry peers, policy influencers, and global market experts for a full day of insight, dialogue, and forward‑looking analysis at one of Canada's premier marine and commodities events.
