Millions of Latter-day Saints worldwide gathered in their homes to watch or listen to the 191st Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints April 3-4.

Following the format of April and October 2020 general conferences, this digital-only general conference was closed to the public. Music for the conference was prerecorded from previous general conferences.

The many international participants, the messages coming from afar and the increased availability of television and radio broadcasting worldwide made this conference a truly global event.

During the general conference leadership session on April 1, President Russell M. Nelson — along with other members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles — provided instruction and direction to some 300 General Authorities, General Officers and Area Seventies across the globe. New Area Seventies were also sustained in this meeting, rather than a weekend session of general conference.

News, talk summaries, session recaps and photo galleries from the April 2021 general conference are included below. Also, a pdf of the talk summaries is available.
