August 12-14: Registration Now Open for Bluefield Coal Symposium
The Chamber of Commerce of the Two Virginias based in Bluefield and Princeton, West Virginia has opened registration for the 2024 Bluefield Coal Symposium, “Using U.S. Coal for a Better America”. The symposium will take place at the Chuck Mathena Center in Princeton, West Virginia on August 12-14.
There are a number of packages available.
• Package A, which includes everything, costs $495.00 per person. There
are three technical sessions, two dinners with top class live entertainment,
and one lunch.
• Package A (student or retired) also includes everything and costs $225.00 per person.
• Package E includes everything plus the “exhibition in print” table and MINExpo Package. This costs $995.00
per person.
“At the symposium we are very proud to have distinguished decision makers ‘dig’ into the current issues in the coal industry and examine the challenges and opportunities of coal so we can all see what the future of the industry looks like,” said Bill Reid, chair of the Symposium and managing editor of CoalZoom.com
”As the American coal industry gets more compact, the opportunities for gatherings of this kind for coal people will get less and less, and early registration will ensure guaranteed entrance to this one-of-a-kind event,” added Reid.
The symposium has four main goals:
• To aid the search for zero accidents
• To lift the spirits of those serving the coal industry and bring everyone together
• To help promote MINExpo INTERNATIONAL®
• To examine the challenges and opportunities for coal
“The American coal industry makes a $28 billion economic contribution to the nation each year and there are 68,179 employees at coal mines, including contractors, with both direct and indirect workers totaling 324,800. We will examine the future of coal and this symposium will certainly be one of the major events in the 2024 coal calendar leading up to MINExpo®,” said Reid.
The symposium includes entertainment with special live performances by Twitty and Lynn, who will provide a Salute to Conway & Loretta, as well as an appearance of Exile, who will perform many of their hit songs.
