The IBIA Annual Convention 2026 is the flagship event for the global bunker and marine fuels industry. Organized by IBIA (The International Bunker Industry Association), this convention brings together the global marine energy community for three days of high-level discussion, insight, and connection. Attendees can expect a program of expert-led discussions, practical insights, and valuable networking opportunities designed to support informed decision-making and meaningful business connections. The event addresses the evolving dynamics of international markets and the increasing importance of cross-regional collaboration, focusing on significant transformation across shipping and marine fuels. The core program includes a one and a half day conference, featuring discussions on market outlook, bunker buyers and sellers, quality & quantity, regulatory updates, decarbonisation policy, regional market insights (North and South Americas), and alternative fuels. Premier networking events, including a cocktail reception and a convention dinner cruise, are also integral to the experience. An optional half-day IBIA training course is offered with separate registration.
