What did past attendees think?

The Sustainable Trails Conference provided an excellent opportunity to share best practice across a variety of topics from trail building to governance. Each session was valuable in its own right. Great to see the collaboration between our two countries as we all strive to make the most of this growing community.

A well run and organised conference, excellent speakers who certainly provided a range of information in the topics presented. Took away some key learnings.

A fantastic conference. Great speaker line-up with leaders in the field. Learned a lot and made new connections.

The Sustainable Trails Conference provides a unique opportunity to appreciate the importance of trails to local economies and tourism, the amount of work going on in this space, and to share and learn from others working in the field.
