	LDS Conference Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The LDS Conference Center, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, is the premier meeting hall for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS Church, popularly known as the "Mormons"), and one of the largest theater-style buildings in the world.
		External walls of the Conference Center are clad in precisely-cut granite.
		Although the conference center is a modern steel truss and rebar-based design without need for masonry support, the LDS Church sought slabs of granite to clad all exterior walls.

		The conference center, which was dedicated last April by church authorities, is the newest large building in Salt Lake City, and perhaps the most unique.
		As opposed to the Delta Center, the home of the Utah Jazz, which seats about 14,000 and stands boldly along the west edge of downtown, the conference center is an interesting blend of low visual impact architecture that complements both the LDS Temple, which it faces, and the more residential community which it backs.
		Inside, the conference center is stately but cavernous, and its size seems to swallow the steady stream of visitors and employees filtering through the front doors.

		The east and west sides of the conference center are designed to reflect the nearby mountain scenery, stepping down in a series of tiers planted with alpine trees and ground cover.
		Directly across from the temple entrance is the main entrance to the conference center, projecting out from the building in a kind of portico consistent with the recessed windows in the structure.
		The focal points and well marked approaches to the conference center and roof park serve to emphasize the primacy of the fixtures on Temple Square, while organizing the expanse of the conference center facade.

		The building, which LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley thought would not be instantly filled, had five meetings April 1-2 with such over-flow crowds that the old Tabernacle across the street in Temple Square with its 6000 seats also was filled.
		An estimated 125,000 attended one of the five Conference sessions in the new Conference Center or in the over-flow at the 19th Century Tabernacle across the street.
		The Conference Center offers peace, and a place to "study the ways of the Lord." In its first two days studying the ways of the Lord has attracted larger crowds than fun and pride.

		Rybczynski sees the LDS Conference Center as an example of “the influence megachurches have had on mainstream religions,” which is strange.
		The LDS parallel to Willow Creek is not a meeting hall that also functions as a community center, but any of the larger-than-life temples that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has constructed for decades.
		Those temples are open only to LDS members once they are dedicated, and (as I first heard from my friend Mark Kellner) some of their rooms feel like the lobbies of higher-end Marriott hotels.

	Pipe Organs of Temple Square -- Conference Center Organ Rationale
		Much could be said about the rationale for the tonal design of the organ being built by Schoenstein and Co. for the LDS Church's new Conference Center now under construction in Salt Lake City.
		It should be noted at the outset that the new Conference Center and its organ will not diminish the importance and usefulness of the venerable Tabernacle and its world-renowned Æolian-Skinner organ.
		We expect that in addition to ecclesiastical services, the Conference Center will be used for certain musical events that have outgrown the seating capacity of the Tabernacle, including major performances by the Tabernacle Choir.
