SALT LAKE CITY — In-person attendance will be allowed during the 192nd Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but only on a limited basis.
In a letter to members, the First Presidency announced that a limited number of conference tickets will be distributed to stakes and districts in the United States and Canada. They also announced that local leaders would make the decisions about gathering to watch general conference in meetinghouses.
Limited, in-person attendance comes back to general conference
The First Presidency announced this limited in-person attendance as well as confirming the first “Women’s Session of General Conference,” planned for the evening of Saturday, April 2.
Church leaders discontinued Saturday evening sessions in October 2021; previously, church leaders held a session for priesthood holders on Saturday in April and a women’s session on Saturday in October. At the time, the church said it made the change because anyone can view or listen to conference sessions online.
“We invite all women and young women (including those who turn 12 in 2022) to participate in a ‘Women’s Session of General Conference,’ which will be held the evening of Saturday, April 2,” the First Presidency said in their statement.
“General sessions for all individuals, families, and friends will be held on Saturday and Sunday, April 2 and 3.”
KSL NewsRadio plans to air all sessions of the April conference online, on the KSL NewsRadio app, and on terrestrial radio at 102.7 FM and 1160 AM.
Bonneville International Corporation, the company that owns KSL NewsRadio, is a subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, which is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
