A complimentary lunch will be served after the conference. We are thrilled to offer this conference at no cost, thanks to our generous partnership with ALL: Arizona LDS LGBT. Our mission is to create a space where we can share stories, provide resources and education, and build a community of belonging centered on Jesus Christ. The day will feature inspiring speakers, engaging panels, an art show, and lunch (all at no cost to registered attendees). Registration is required. Register now and reserve your spot to be a part of this uplifting experience!
Gather Arizona is a regional conference (and different than our worldwide conference coming to Utah in June of 2025). However, the mission of both conferences is the same: to create a hope-filled and supportive event for Latter-day Saint LGBTQ individuals, family members, and friends, where we share stories, provide resources and education, and create a community of belonging and connection to Jesus Christ.
