The coal industry is faced with rapid change, including political and regulatory pressure, rising costs, and volatile international markets. Platts 18th Annual Coal Properties & Investment helps you understand these new challenges, including in-depth information on international coal demand and supply, coal transportation and logistics, and the financial outlook for coal.


Designed specifically for the needs of the coal industry, the conference attracts a high level audience of over 200 coal producers, traders, investors, banks, transportation companies, and electric utilities.


For 2010, Coal Properties & Investment moves back to the luxurious Harbor Beach Resort and Spa, located right on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The conference was held at this location in March 2008.
