July 6, 2024 - “To provide marketing opportunities for our manufacturing friends, we are making available a limited number of Table Tops for displays at the Symposium on August 12-14,” said Bill Reid, Symposium Chair and Managing Editor of CoalZoom. “The tables are 3’ x 2’6” and include a 3’ wide sign and a couple of chairs. A few Double Unit tables are available. Table Top Exhibits will be promoted during the entire Symposium to ensure that everyone is aware that they are a most important part of the proceedings.”

A truly unique feature is the MINExpo enhancement package, which is included in the cost of $995.00 per Table Top. CoalZoom will design a digital trifold brochure customized for each company, which will include photos of equipment to be displayed, photos of personnel manning the exhibit, and a diagram of the particular Exhibition Hall the company is in, showing the exact location at the Convention Center in Las Vegas. A brochure describing this may be seen at www.CoalZoom.com .
