2026 keynote speaker:

Trent Horn

After his conversion to the Catholic faith, Trent Horn earned master’s degrees in the fields of theology, philosophy, and bioethics. He serves as a staff apologist for Catholic Answers, where he specializes in teaching Catholics to graciously and persuasively engage those who disagree with them.

Trent models that approach each week on the radio program Catholic Answers Live and on his own podcast, The Counsel of Trent. He has also been invited to debate at UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, and Stanford University.

An expert in defending the pro-life position as well as the Catholic faith, Trent is an adjunct professor of apologetics at Holy Apostles College and has written for The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly, and is the author of nine books, including  Answering Atheism, The Case for Catholicism, and Persuasive Pro Life: How to Talk about Our Culture's Toughest Issue and 20 Answers: Abortion
