Trail Forum is the Carolina Thread Trail’s annual day-long educational event that convenes over 250 industry professionals and citizen leaders with a common mission of advancing trails in our region and beyond.

This year is the 15th annual Trail Forum, which remains the largest recurring trail conference in the Carolinas. Attendees learn about current issues, foster peer-to-peer relationships, and collaborate on the opportunities and challenges of developing a trail network. Participants can choose from a diversified menu of 9 educational sessions throughout the day.

Trail Forum will also kick off “NC Year of the Trail 2023” – designated by the NC legislature. This is a huge opportunity to showcase, celebrate and advocate for our the state’s extensive and growing trail system.

We offer continuing education credits for members of AICP, NC/SC Landscape Architects, SC Parks and Recreation professionals, and Professional Engineers (select sessions).
