General Conference (LDS Church)

This term is notable because the General Conference is a central event for the global Latter-day Saint community, providing doctrinal direction and unifying the membership. The structure and scheduling of its sessions are therefore of significant interest to church members worldwide.

Recently, the General Conference evening session has been in the news due to a major change in its format. According to recent news reports, the Church has officially decided to discontinue the Saturday evening session of the conference. This change means the biannual event will now feature fewer sessions than it has in the past.

This adjustment is part of an ongoing effort to streamline the conference schedule. The decision means that members will hear less frequently from some top leaders during the conference weekends, marking a significant shift in a long-standing tradition for the global faith community.
