Twice each year, in April and October, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) holds a worldwide General Conference. This conference is held in the Conference Center on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, but is broadcast all over the world via sattelite and internet. All members of the Church meet at their church buildings or in their homes to watch the two-day conference that weekend instead of having regular Sunday worship services.
There are six sessions of the conference. The conference weekend consists of five two-hour sessions: Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning, and Sunday afternoon are for everyone to watch and attend. Saturday evening is a Priesthood meeting, just for men and boys ages 12 and older. The weekend prior to these meetings is a Saturday evening meeting for women and girls ages 12 and older.
Each session of the conference features several sermons by international church leaders and by the Prophet and Apostles of the Church. Official business of the church, such as announcements, policy changes, financial reports, and membership reports, are also given. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and other choirs of church members provide the music. The Conference is very important to Mormons and many study the sermons given in conference just as seriously as the scriptures.
Archives of the Conference are available online and written transcripts are mailed to each Church member. You can watch the archives of recent General Conference meetings at the "Related Links" below.
