From large-scale trail networks to local community initiatives, WTC2026 will showcase innovation, best practice, and practical solutions to the challenges and opportunities facing trails worldwide.
A key feature of the program is a series of headline speakers, who will bring powerful and thought-provoking perspectives on:
