The annual National Trust Conference is Canada?s largest heritage learning and networking event. Held in a different part of Canada every year, this national conference brings together a wide-range of people keeping Canada?s heritage alive: from grassroots volunteers, professionals and planners, to elected officials, policy makers, and students. This year, the National Trust Conference will take place in Fredericton, New Brunswick, from October 18-20.

The 2018 National Trust Conference will explore the transformative power of heritage to help turn places around, galvanize communities, and create fresh options. Bringing together the cutting-edge of heritage thought and practice ? in Canada and abroad ? the conference will emphasize interdisciplinary insights on such diverse topics as heritage-led development, sustainability, museum/historic site regeneration, and Indigenous heritage. Opportunity Knocks is inspired by Fredericton, a vibrant mid-sized city renowned for its east coast warmth and charm.
