From the MINExpo website,

... the World’s Richest Deposit of Mining Technology, Services and Products—scheduled for September 22-24 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

More than 1,100 exhibitors will be displaying the latest technology, equipment, parts and services used for exploration, extraction, safety, environmental remediation and preparation of metallic ores, coal and other minerals. With displays covering more than 568,000 square feet of exhibit space, this is the largest show of its kind in the world. And it’s held only once every four years, so you cannot afford to miss it.

You will be able to see everything from the industry’s largest equipment to hand tools; the latest in automation and robotics; safety and communications equipment; longwall mining equipment; engines and parts; materials handling and processing equipment and services; pollution control equipment; reclamation equipment and services; computer applications; consulting and financial services, and much, much more. We anticipate that a whole range of new products will be introduced at the show.

A conference program with 20 educational sessions will tackle the most timely and pressing issues affecting the mining industry, with many of the industry’s top professionals leading the discussions. The information shared at these sessions—scheduled for the mornings of Tuesday, September 23, and Wednesday, September 24—will help you get ahead of the changes and developments affecting the mining industry in the U. S. and around the world. And, your attendance will earn professional development credits.

From UCGP promotional material:

 

UCGP in conjunction with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Scientific Drilling and NETL is running a one day tutorial ahead of the main 25th International Pittsburgh Coal Conference.
The topics to be covered will include the history and development of UCG, its current status around the world and the advantages it offers as a large-scale energy source. We also plan to cover environmental and regulatory issues, directional drilling of process wells and well construction, coal geology and hydrogeology, site selection, modeling, public perceptions and how to promote UCG and carbon capture and storage. Underground coal gasification has come to the attention of all coal owning countries as a clean coal provider of a versatile syngas and a substantial energy source with the advantage of security of supply, competitive cost, and a capacity for easier carbon capture and sequestration. The purpose of the tutorial is to provide delegates with a general understanding of underground coal gasification and should be on interest to a wide audience.
Cost: $45 includes tutorial, lunch, and break - Please note attendance at IPCC Main Conference is required.

Coal supply, consumer and transportation executives face an overwhelming number of marketplace and public policy challenges. The American Coal Council’s 2008 Coal Market Strategies Conference examines the many and varied dynamics at play in today’s U.S. coal industry and focuses on how coal producers, utilities, railroads, ports and barge operators are addressing the industry’s TOP 10 issues.

  • Global Coal Market Dynamics
  • Meeting Electric Power Demand
  • New Coal Plant Siting & Permitting
  • Utility Fuel Flexibility/Switching Considerations
  • U.S. Coal Production Challenges: Mine Safety, Permitting & Operational Challenges
  • Coal Supply & Price Trends
  • Coal Transportation Capacity & Performance: Ocean, Rail, Barge & Port
  • Environmental Stewardship
  • Enhancing Public Perception of Coal
  • Business Opportunities in Emerging Markets: Pre-Combustion, UCG, CTL

Today’s coal industry is subject to increasing scrutiny and unprecedented demands from legislators, environmental groups, shareholders and the general public. Business resources are being stretched thin to address safety, environmental compliance, permitting, technology development, and infrastructure needs. Operations and construction costs are rising in response to unprecedented global demand for labor, steel, petroleum products and engineering services. Supply dynamics are shifting with emerging markets for U.S. exports and the increasing use of scrubbers.

Attendees will benefit from the opportunity to learn about a broad spectrum of the industry’s most pressing issues, including how these factors interact and affect decisions regarding mine and power plant development, fuel sourcing and strategic planning.

Conference, registration, and hotel information is available at www.coalmarketstrategies.com
