The recent XXI International Coal Preparation Congress (ICPC) held in the stunning Sun City, South Africa, was a resounding success, bringing together experts, thought leaders, and innovators in the coal preparation industry from around the globe. This biennial event serves as a platform for showcasing advancements and promoting discussions around sustainable practices in coal preparation technology.
One of the highlights of the congress was the acceptance of a proposal by the Coal Preparation Society of America (CPSA) to host the XXIII ICPC in Lexington, Kentucky, in 2031. This decision marks an exciting return to Lexington, recalling the memorable 2010 congress that gathered international experts for knowledge exchange and collaboration. The upcoming event in 2028 will take place in China, but the excitement surrounding the return to Lexington is palpable.
Organizers anticipate that this event will more than double the attendance of previous technical programs, with over 60 presentations scheduled over the span of four dynamic days. Each presentation will contribute valuable insights into innovations and best practices that are essential for advancing coal preparation. The accompanying exhibition is also set to expand significantly, featuring a greater number of international companies showcasing their cutting-edge solutions and technologies.
While six years might seem distant, the planning and execution of such a prestigious gathering require significant dedication and teamwork. The CPSA Board of Directors deserves commendation for their commitment to bringing world-class events back to the United States. This congress not only promotes networking and collaboration but also emphasizes the importance of sustainability in the coal industry, highlighting advancements that align with global environmental efforts.
As the countdown to 2031 begins, stakeholders around the world are looking forward to what promises to be a landmark event in the coal preparation sector. It offers a unique opportunity for professionals to share knowledge, explore new technologies, and build lasting connections—all in the heart of Lexington.
