On Saturday, June 27, 2026, Megan Follows, the actress known for playing Anne Shirley in Sullivan Entertainment's Anne of Green Gables (1985) and its sequels, will give a keynote at the L.M. Montgomery Institute's Biennial Conference at the University of Prince Edward Island in Charlottetown. Her speech, entitled "Anne of Everywhere: How A Redheaded Girl from PEI Became Canada's Greatest Cultural Ambassador and Changed my Life Forever" will take place from 11-12 pm ADT. It's sure to be a special event for all of the attendees.
What's also special is that even those who aren't attending the conference this year can join in and watch the keynote at a free online event. You can register to receive a free ticket to attend the keynote virtually at eventbrite. After registering, you'll receive a Zoom webinar link to attend the virtual event on June 26th. [Note that all who have registered for the full conference (in person or virtual) will already have access to this event].
For those who wish to attend the full conference, there is still time to register for both the in-person and virtual versions through June 17th. The "L.M. Montgomery and Change" conference takes place from June 24–28, 2026. It is a hybrid conference, and all sessions will be live-streamed, so people may either attend the event in person or participate virtually.
If you plan to attend the full conference in person, tickets cost $425 for the general public and $350.00 for students. The full virtual conference registration costs $300 for the general public and $200.00 for students. You can also register for in-person day and half-day passes, lunch tickets, the awards banquet, and a bus tour.
The draft conference schedule is up on The L.M. Montgomery Institute’s Conference Website, so you can take a look at all the panels and speeches that will take place.
