The teams at SEMCO Publishing, owner of Miners News, North American Mining magazine and Coal Trends would like to convey a heartfelt thank you to all that exhibited at and attended the recent West Virginia Coal Show in Charleston.
Attendance was solid over 2025’s show both days of the event, and the traffic and diversity of attendees were both great for this, our third annual WVCS. Preliminary reports also have been shared that the West Virginia Coal Association symposium, with which we co-located again this year, also had a bumper year for its attendance.
If you did not join us at the show this year, we hope you’ll consider WVCS 2027. Dates to come – keep your eyes out for an announcement in the coming weeks. We already have a number of vendors who have confirmed their appearance at next year’s event, so it promises, even one year away, to be a not-to-miss show.
As we close out the 2026 show, check out some photos from the show floor and also from one of our special events: the WVU Collegiate Mine Rescue Demonstration.
