The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invites people around the world to participate in general conference twice a year. In these meetings, the First Presidency, members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and other General Authorities and General Officers of the Church deliver messages of inspiration and guidance.

The conference meetings are as follows:

Saturday, April 4, 2020

• Saturday Morning Session (10:00 a.m.) for everyone
