What did past attendees think?

By far the most informative conference on trails, jam packed with quality content, presenters, and subject experts! You will not find better value for money. The contacts you make will be invaluable for planning and delivery of all your trail projects. (Hats of to ALL of the TRC team for a seamless transition into some virtual delivery presentations due to last minute Covid restrictions, preventing a number of presentations in person).

The TRC Sustainable Trails Conference was a fantastic opportunity to network with other agencies managing public trails and learn from others. It’s inspired lots of wonderful new ideas.

The conference was yet again informative, entertaining and very valuable. To hear the different stories, different approaches and different models of developing trails is very enlightening.

This was a really well organised and enjoyable conference with valuable content and great networking opportunities. Will definitely return for the next one.

The Sustainable Trails Conference was a fantastic event. The opportunity to engage and learn from other passionate people was incredibly valuable. Well done TRC team!
