Many Options for Viewing General Conference This Weekend  

Television and radio broadcast schedule for Australia, New Zealand and many Pacific Islands

Twice a year (in April and October), members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and interested friends gather to hear inspiring messages and music originating in Salt Lake City, Utah at the faith's worldwide general conference.

Senior leaders of the Church and others share messages on gospel principles or address significant issues of the day, with speakers encouraging individuals and families in their efforts to follow Jesus Christ.

In the past, members of the Church in many parts of the world, including in the South Pacific, have met the weekend after the faith's general conference to view the sessions together.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions on large gatherings in many areas, the Church has arranged to broadcast the 190th Semiannual General Conference via television and radio in many nations of the world.

The Imai, Kau and Nawasa families gather to watch the 190th Annual General Conference when conference is televised for the first time in Papua New Guinea, April 2020.

A worldwide Church events page notes: "As the world grapples with a global pandemic, economic hardship, social issues, political turmoil, and uncertainty, The First Presidency, members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and other General Authorities and General Officers of the Church will focus on the Savior’s messages of love, understanding, acceptance, hope, connection, and inclusion." 

Here are five ways to watch conference.
