Comprehensive, timely presentations were the centerpiece of the 2014 “The Coal Institute” Summer Trade Seminar in Myrtle Beach, SC. The delegates heard from the CEO of one of the East’s most prolific coal-producing companies, three major consumers, an industry advocate and a widely respected market analyst. 

Presentations from Ben Hatfield, CEO, Patriot Coal; Chuck West, Manager-Coal Procurement, AEP; Greg Workman, Director-Fuels, Dominion Generation; Michael Shinn, General Manager-Fossil Fuel Procurement, SCANA; Jason Hayes, Associate Director, American Coal Council; and Hans Daniels, Executive Vice President, Doyle Trading Consultants, are available here. You will appreciate the breadth and depth of each presentation. 

Combined with compelling remarks from Major Dan Rooney, USAF (Retired), founder of the Folds of Honor Foundation, a veteran F-16 Fighter Pilot with three combat tours in Iraq and a PGA professional, the information and insight available at the event was perhaps the strongest in the long history of The Coal Institute. As always, of course, there were also peerless networking opportunities. Please enjoy the presentations included here.
