SALT LAKE CITY — General conferences of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints take place every six months. The five sessions of the October 2024 conference will be broadcast live from Temple Square in Salt Lake City.
The morning and afternoon sessions Saturday and Sunday will air on News Talk KVNU and online.
For the first time since 2019, there will be no seating restrictions this weekend at the Conference Center. The COVID-19 pandemic and construction related to the Salt Lake Temple renovation on Temple Square limited general conference capacity for five years. The Conference Center seats more than 20,000.
President Russell M. Nelson, the prophet and president of the church who celebrated his 100th birthday last month, is expected to participate.
In a letter to congregations, the First Presidency said that General conference provides an opportunity to receive personal revelation as general church leaders give counsel and direction. They encouraged all to listen to, study, ponder, and apply the counsel and direction given.
The conference will take place in five unique two-hour sessions over two days:
Saturday, Oct. 5: General sessions will be at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. MDT.
Sunday, Oct. 6: General sessions will be held at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. MDT.
