The International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) has announced that early-bird registration for its Annual Convention 2026 closes on 31 August, with the event scheduled to take place in New York on 10–12 November 2026.

The three-day convention is set to bring together delegates from across the global bunker and marine energy industry for sessions covering industry insights, discussion and networking.

Early-bird registration rates are priced at $1,199 for IBIA members and $1,499 for non-members. After 31 August, delegates wishing to attend will no longer have access to the discounted pricing.

The association has published an agenda for the convention via its community portal, and registration for the event is available by clicking here.

The convention is held annually and serves as a forum for the bunker industry to convene and exchange views on regulatory, commercial and operational developments shaping the sector.
