Are you asking how the verb in 国際会議がこの町で開かれます is read? If so, it's read ひらかれます.

開(ひら)く (transitive) = to open, to hold
You ひらく things. (doors, windows, shops, conferences, etc)

開(あ)く (intransitive) = to open
Things can あく by themselves. (A door by a wind, for instance)
_______

ひらく can be an intransitive verb as well. 「ドアがひらいた」
