Conference Center and parking services officials for the Church have announced arrangements for those attending the Church's 171st Annual General Conference on Saturday, March 31, and Sunday, April 1.
Tickets and admission to the conference
All reserved tickets, standby tickets and parking permits for the five conference sessions have been distributed through local church leaders. Members interested in attending the conference should contact their local leaders.
Conference Center doors will open 90 minutes prior to each meeting. Admission is available to anyone 8 years and older holding a ticket. Reserved ticket holders must be in their seats 30 minutes before the meeting starts. At that time, standby ticket holders may be admitted if seats are available, followed by those in waiting lines.
Cameras, recording devices, backpacks, food and packages are not allowed in the building. Photography is not allowed during the meetings, except by credentialed news media.
Transportation and parking
Those attending the conference are asked to carpool or use public transportation to relieve downtown traffic congestion. During the weekend of general conference, TRAX trains will begin running northbound from the Sandy Civic Center at 7 a.m. and will run southbound from the Delta Center until 11:20 p.m. People traveling from the north are encouraged to use the 600 North off-ramp to access 300 West.
Downtown parking lots will be available Saturday and Sunday morning starting at 7:30 a.m. Anyone who does not have a conference parking permit and who is admitted to the Conference Center may get a ZCMI mall four-hour parking validation at door 14 of the Conference Center for any meeting Saturday or Sunday.
