McCloskey Coal Conference of the Americas
April 22-24, 2025 • Cartagena, Colombia

Thermal and metallurgical coal markets in a changing global landscape.

On April 22, 2025, the McCloskey Coal Conference of the Americas returns to Cartagena, Colombia for the 28th year, providing delegates with an unsurpassed opportunity to network with industry leaders, government officials and market experts, while gaining critical insights in the thermal coal, metallurgical coal, metallurgical coke, and anthracite markets. 

The global geopolitical landscape is evolving rapidly. The election of Donald Trump to another presidential term in the US is the most noteworthy, but incumbent governments have lost office in more than a dozen large economy countries over the last year. Protectionism is being more widely implemented with the risk of a global trade war rising that could be as impactful as the ongoing wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East.

All of this, while thermal and metallurgical coal demand is at an all-time high. There is severe pressure on supply to keep up with this strong demand, and Colombia – and Latin America more broadly – will play an important role in meeting global supply of coal and coke. Metallurgical coal continues to appear structurally tight in the medium- to long-term, while thermal coal also has significant supply risks given demand levels.

The McCloskey Coal Conference of the Americas will feature numerous delegates from both the Colombian and global industries, with presentations and panels on the critical issues driving markets. Attendees will be able to network with international and local industry leaders, market experts, and government officials who have gathered to discuss Latin America’s growing role in the energy and steel raw materials markets.

Don’t miss this critical industry gathering and join your colleagues, partners and business prospects in Cartagena this April!
