International Mining Forum 2019, held on 11 and 12 April this year, has attracted over eight hundred participants from numerous countries of the world. In total, three panels during the plenary session and two hundred lectures during fifteen thematic sessions were organized. IMF 2019 took place at the International Congress Center in Katowice, in the Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa plants and in Kraków.

The Forum served primarily as a forum for broad discussion and exchange of experience related to the introduction of Industry 4.0. The main topic of most thematic sessions was safety and efficiency of mining operations and the role of coking coal in the global economy. A significant part of the discussion was devoted to the latest investments in mining.
