Behind-the-Scenes of General Conference Preparation

The Conference Center has 21,000 seats; they will be filled five times between the 4th and 5th of October 2014 for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ semiannual general conference. More than 100,000 people will experience the worldwide conference from inside the Conference Center — many for the very first time.

Creating a beautiful and inviting setting for the conference is important. Church Floral Services begins working on the plan for the next conference soon after the last general conference has ended.
