Trust Talks

Let's Talk Trust Talks

Trust Talks is the National Trust Queensland's speaker series, designed to bring people together through inspiring conversations, immersive experiences, and fresh perspectives and a little bit of history on heritage and culture.

Innovation, Collaboration and Heritage Celebration

Our speaker series, Trust Talks is opening doors to innovation, collaboration and heritage celebration. More than talks—immersive experiences with fresh voices, bold ideas & unique venues. We welcome everyone to connect, engage, and be inspired!

The Governor of Queensland, Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM, is the proud Patron of the National Trust of Australia (Queensland).
