Salt Lake City: Our 2027 Good News Conference Destination
Next year, the Good News Conference is heading west — to Salt Lake City, Utah! We couldn’t be more excited to gather in a new city, in a beautiful setting, with our growing Good News Conference community.
So, why Salt Lake City? We think it’s the perfect place for a weekend centered on faith, fellowship, and sharing the Good News.
A setting that lifts your eyes
With the Wasatch Mountains rising just beyond the city, Salt Lake City has a way of putting things into perspective. The mountains provide a stunning backdrop throughout the city — and an especially beautiful setting for a weekend dedicated to prayer, reflection, conversation, and encountering Christ.
Whether you’re walking between sessions, enjoying a quiet moment with your morning coffee, or simply looking out at the mountains, there will be plenty of opportunities to pause, breathe, and take in the beauty around you.
A venue worthy of the gathering
Our home for the weekend will be the Grand America Hotel, one of Salt Lake City’s most elegant and iconic landmarks.
From its grand lobby and beautiful gardens to its spacious gathering areas and mountain views, the hotel offers a welcoming setting for everything the Good News Conference has to offer. And because our sessions, meals, and fellowship will all be centered under one roof, you’ll spend less time getting from place to place — and more time connecting with the people around you.
Even better? The Grand America is just a 10-minute drive from Salt Lake City International Airport, making getting to the conference easy and convenient.
A cathedral just minutes away
Just a few minutes from the hotel is the Cathedral of the Madeleine, the mother church of the Diocese of Salt Lake City.
Built in 1909, the cathedral is a remarkable work of art and faith, blending Neo-Romanesque architecture with an elaborate Spanish Gothic interior. Inside, visitors will find stunning ceiling frescoes, Munich stained glass, and a first-class relic of St. Mary Magdalene, the cathedral’s patron.
The cathedral offers daily and vigil Masses and opportunities for confession, making it an especially meaningful place to step away for prayer during the conference.
And there’s something particularly fitting about gathering for a Catholic conference here. Catholics are a minority in Utah, yet the Catholic Church has a visible and beautiful presence in the heart of Salt Lake City. The Cathedral of the Madeleine stands as a reminder that we are called to live our faith with joy, confidence, and charity — wherever God places us.
A city with room to rest, explore, and reconnect
Of course, the Good News Conference isn’t only about what happens inside the sessions.
Between talks, worship, and fellowship, you’ll have time to experience Salt Lake City for yourself. Enjoy a meal with a new friend, take in the mountain scenery, explore the city, or simply find a quiet place to reflect on all you’ve heard.
Sometimes, the best conversations happen in the moments between sessions. Sometimes, a weekend away is exactly what we need to slow down, reconnect, and make room for God to speak.
We’ll see you in Salt Lake City for the 2027 Good News Conference!
A new city. A beautiful setting. A familiar community — and, we hope, plenty of new faces. Stay tuned for more details as we get ready to gather in Salt Lake City!
