A standby line for general conference will be available outside the Tabernacle for overflow seating as well as potential seating in the Conference Center as available. You may access the Tabernacle through the west gate of Temple Square on West Temple Street.
General Conference Guidelines
If you have tickets to general conference, make sure to arrive on Temple Square early to find parking and find your seat. Doors open 90 minutes before the beginning of each session. You must be in your seat 30 minutes before the event begins or your ticket may be invalid. Pay particular attention on Sunday morning, as you are required to be in your seat before the Music & the Spoken Word broadcast that runs prior to the opening session of conference.
Also make sure you are aware of what you can bring into the Conference Center so your experience runs smoothly. The only items allowed are clear plastic water bottles, umbrellas, and small handbags.
Accessibility Support
If you require accessible seating, translation support, closed captioning, assistance for the hard of hearing, or other services, please inform the guest services ushers upon arrival at your event.
Some wheelchair-accessible seating is available in all buildings. If you require wheelchair assistance, please inform the ticket office when you request your tickets or speak to an usher when you arrive at the event. Patrons who enter the building in a wheelchair will remain in their wheelchair for seating during the event.

An interpretation device may be arranged for a specific event. If needed, please inform the guest services ushers when you arrive. Assistance by an ASL interpreter may be arranged for a specific event in advance.
Service Animals
Patrons with service animals will be directed to the overflow venues. Comfort animals are not allowed.
Dress Standard
You’re more than welcome to come as you are. If you’re worried you’ll stand out, most event attendees wear nicer clothes than they wear the rest of the week. The most common attire you’ll see at events is a dress shirt and tie for men and a skirt or dress for women.

Those who come to general conference are encouraged to use public transit. Anyone with a ticket to general conference will be able to use that ticket to ride UTA trains, buses, and light rail as they travel to and from conference.
