The Wannsee Conference, chaired by Reinhard Heydrich, was a meeting of senior Nazi officials on 20 January 1942 and was organised to work out the 'nuts and bolts' of the 'Final Solution', that is, the Holocaust. The early stages of the Holocaust were chaotic, often starting with local 'initiatives' which were later rubber-stamped at the top.

Contrary to what some older books say, it did not decide on the Final Solution. That decision had already been made (at a higher level) and the Final Solution had started.

What conference did German officials meet to implement the final solution to the Jews?

You are probably thinking of the Wannsee Conference of 20 January 1942. However, routine mass gassings of Jews had already started at Chelmno (Kulmhof) camp on 8 December 1941. The Wannsee Conference was fairly short (90 minutes) and was concerned with getting the various agencies involved (local police, the SS and the railways) to co-operate.

No, though the Nuremberg Laws were mentioned at the Wannsee Conference.
