US Coal Show Pittsburgh

The US Coal Show, formerly known as Longwall USA, is one of the most significant trade fairs for underground coal mining in North America. It serves as a key platform for industry leaders, technical decision-makers, suppliers, and policymakers to exchange insights on the current state and future of longwall mining.

Held biennially at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the event benefits from its location in a city historically rooted in America’s steel and coal industries. Pittsburgh is not only symbolically linked to mining but also boasts excellent transportation infrastructure—ideal conditions for hosting an international flagship event.

The show is organized by Mining Media International (MMI), a globally active specialist media company focused on industry events and information services for the mining sector. With its extensive expertise, MMI ensures a high-quality trade fair experience that promotes professional exchange, advanced training, and innovation at the highest level.

At the heart of the US Coal Show are the latest developments in longwall mining—including automated and remotely operated extraction systems, cutting-edge hydraulic and conveying technologies, sensor and data analysis solutions, digital twins for process simulation, as well as safety and dust suppression technologies. The exhibition is complemented by concepts for energy efficiency, sustainability, and environmental compatibility, which are becoming increasingly relevant in light of global challenges.

The show features products and services specifically tailored to underground coal mining—ranging from heavy machinery and control systems to IT solutions and maintenance/service strategies. Exhibitors include machine manufacturers, software providers, suppliers of safety equipment, and service companies specializing in environmental technologies and energy optimization.

The US Coal Show is targeted at a highly specialized professional audience. It attracts executives, technical experts, representatives of mining companies, engineering firms, equipment manufacturers, and government officials—both from the United States and internationally. With its focus on industry professionals, the event has become a central hub for knowledge exchange and business collaboration.

In addition to the exhibition, the event offers a diverse supporting program featuring technical conferences, panel discussions, and expert forums that delve into current challenges and technological innovations.

The David L. Lawrence Convention Center is a modern, environmentally certified venue located in downtown Pittsburgh. Thanks to its convenient transport connections, proximity to an international airport, and wide range of accommodations and dining options, it provides a comfortable and accessible experience for visitors from around the world—yet another reason why the US Coal Show has established itself as a key date in the industry calendar.

The US Coal Show will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 03. June to Thursday, 05. June 2025 in Pittsburgh.
