Why attend in 2026?

CT Asia 2026 · Bali, Indonesia

Why attend CT Asia 2026?

This is not a business as usual year for the coal market. Indonesian export controls have reshaped supply reliability. Energy security has moved from policy papers to procurement decisions. Trade flows are shifting. Government intervention is increasing across every major market.

CT Asia 2026 has been rebuilt to reflect that reality. The programme has been restructured around the questions actually driving decisions. The format has expanded to four days. And for the first time, CT Asia is co-located with the International Critical Minerals and Metals Summit Indonesia, with full ICMMS access included in every paid pass.

3,600+ professionals from 35+ countries. The producers, traders, utilities, financiers and freight leaders who move Asian coal markets. In the same room. For four days.

Reasons to attend

A programme reshaped for this market

The agenda has been restructured around the issues actually driving decisions: Indonesia supply discipline, China demand reality, buy-side dynamics across India, Korea and Southeast Asia, freight volatility, and contracting under policy intervention. Not a traditional outlook. A working programme.

Connect and trade in person

Meet the producers, traders, utilities, financiers and logistics leaders who shape Asia’s coal market. The networking app, full delegate list, pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings, roundtables, receptions and dedicated meeting windows across all four days. This is where relationships are built and deals get done.

Candid discussions you will not hear anywhere else

A closed-format pre-conference Market Forum for off-the-record discussion. Moderated panels on what the market is saying privately but not publicly. Structured debates on who actually cuts supply if prices fall further. The conversations that matter.

Senior audience, practical outcomes

CT Asia is the only event where producers, traders, utilities, financiers and freight leaders openly test assumptions and compare what is actually happening on the ground. Indonesian government keynotes and a keynote from the Chairman of the China Electricity Council open the programme.

Broader than coal: ICMMS included

Every paid pass includes full access to the co-located International Critical Minerals and Metals Summit Indonesia. Energy security, industrialisation, resource nationalism and the critical minerals supply chains sitting alongside coal in the region. Two events for one pass.

Four days in Bali, September 2026

The InterContinental Bali Resort, Jimbaran. An expanded four-day format with more time for sessions, meetings and networking than any previous edition. A dedicated transport and traffic management plan is being developed with the venue and local authorities.
