CT ASIA 2026

Sep 27-30, 2026
Bali, Indonesia
27-30 September 2026 Intercontinental Bali Resort

The region’s most important meeting place for the international coal and energy trade, now in its 31st year

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, with a reshaped programme, an expanded four-day format, and the co-located International Critical Minerals and Metals Summit Indonesia. 3,600+ professionals from 35+ countries. The people who move markets, in one room.

CT Asia 2025, Bali
What to expect in 2026
Four days. Reshaped around the market reality.
CT Asia roundtable discussion
An expanded format built around the issues the industry is actually navigating: supply discipline, demand uncertainty, policy intervention and contracting under volatility. More time for the meetings and conversations that matter.
A programme built for decisions, not headlines.
CT Asia conference session
Indonesia supply discipline. China demand reality. India and Southeast Asia buy-side dynamics. Australia and South Africa supply constraints. Freight volatility. The agenda has been restructured around the questions actually driving decisions.
What the market is saying privately but not publicly
CT Asia candid group
A closed-format pre-conference Market Forum for off-the-record discussion. Moderated panels on forced burn, stock positioning and where stated transition narratives diverge from procurement reality. The conversations you will not hear anywhere else.
Roundtables and micro-briefings across every session
CT Asia specialist discussion
Parallel roundtables on contracting under policy risk, trade finance, freight and FFAs, captive demand, and country-level procurement reality. Lunch micro-briefings on coal quality, generation stocks and logistics bottlenecks. Short, high-signal, designed for specialists.
Co-located with ICMMS Indonesia 2026
CT Asia insight corner
For the first time, CT Asia runs alongside the International Critical Minerals and Metals Summit Indonesia. Energy security, industrialisation, resource nationalism and the critical minerals supply chains sitting alongside coal. Every paid pass includes full ICMMS access.
Time intentionally protected for meetings and deals
CT Asia one to one meeting
Daily windows dedicated to pre-booked meetings, analyst access and curated networking. The networking app and full delegate list let you plan your schedule before you arrive. No filler content.
Senior audience. Practical outcomes. Real intelligence.
CT Asia senior audience
CT Asia remains the only event where producers, traders, utilities, financiers and freight leaders openly test assumptions and compare what is actually happening on the ground. 3,600+ professionals from 35+ countries. The people who move markets.

Conference themes
Indonesia supply discipline and export reliability
What is genuinely being approved, where volumes are delayed, and how regulatory intervention is reshaping export reliability. Indonesian government keynotes open the conference. Sessions examine how international buyers are adjusting sourcing and contracting behaviour in response.
China demand reality and import tolerance
Domestic production flexibility versus seaborne reliance, and what procurement behaviour is signalling about tolerance thresholds under current pricing. A keynote from the Chairman of the China Electricity Council sets the context, with dedicated sessions on what the market is not saying publicly about demand.
Buy-side demand across India, Korea and Southeast Asia
Senior representatives from major consuming markets share the procurement realities shaping 2026 demand. Freight constraints, price absorption limits, stock positioning, and where stated transition commitments diverge from operational reality.
Australia, South Africa and emerging supply origins
Mine economics, labour and approval constraints, and what supply is realistically available for 2026 and 2027. Covers thermal and met coal, structural limits to supply response, and how alternative origins are reshaping trade flows.
Freight, delivered cost and pricing reality
Dry bulk rate structure, congestion risk, sanctions and insurance premiums, and how freight volatility is being embedded into cargo-level pricing. Dedicated sessions on index versus physical price disconnects and what is hedgeable versus structurally baked in.
Energy security, policy intervention and critical minerals
How government intervention, resource nationalism and energy security priorities are reshaping contracting, trade flows and investment. The co-located International Critical Minerals and Metals Summit Indonesia extends the conversation into nickel, cobalt, lithium and the supply chains sitting alongside coal in the region.
