October 2021 general conference: See a list of talk summaries, photo galleries and session highlights

On Oct. 2-3, millions worldwide tuned into the 191st Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to hear messages from the First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and other Church leaders.

Following the format of the previous three general conferences, the October 2021 general conference was closed to the public. It was the first since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to return to its traditional site in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, and music was performed live. The Saturday evening session was not intended for any particular demographic or leadership group.
