The upcoming April 2025 general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will mark the 25th anniversary of the first-ever general conference held in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City.
Announced in 1996 and constructed between 1997 and 2000 under the direction of the late Church President Gordon B. Hinckley, the Conference Center was complete enough by April 2000 to hold its inaugural general conference. The building was dedicated later that year in October.
Since then, countless life-changing moments have occurred in the Conference Center, including announcements of several hundred locations worldwide for new temples to the lowering of the age for full-time missionaries.
