The Conference Center will be closed to the public from March 30, 2026, through March 1, 2027, except for general conference and other major scheduled events such as Luz de las Naciones and the Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. The purpose of the closure is "to facilitate critical construction, infrastructure upgrades and exhibit development in preparation for the Salt Lake Temple Celebration," an official memo stated. "This operational pause is essential to allow project teams to execute a significantly expanded scope of work and ensure the facility is fully prepared to support the elevated guest experience planned for 2027."
