2025 singles conference

13–15 June 2025
Washington, D.C.

The 2025 DC LDS Single Adult Conference Committee invites all singles ages 31+ to gather in the nation’s capital 13–15 June. This year, singles can look forward to fun activities, dances, and social sessions, unique service opportunities, and many amazing speakers on this year’s theme, “Upon this Rock: Fortifying Foundations of Faith and Friendship (Doctrine and Covenants 50:44–45)”. Singles who participate in this conference will find many opportunities to strengthen their spiritual, personal, intellectual, and social foundations.

A few things to look forward to this June include an opening social at National Harbor, activities around Washington, D.C., a unique service opportunity at the Congressional Cemetery, a gala at Museum of the Bible, temple worship and sabbath meetings at the Washington D.C. Temple and Visitors Center, and special speakers Sister Kristin Yee and Elder Mathias Held. There will also be a Latin opening social with dancing and icebreaker games, and a special meeting with Elder Held for Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking singles. The committee has worked very hard to plan an event that will allow singles to meet others of similar and new backgrounds, age groups, and interests.

For those who do not live in the D.C. area, a limited number of rooms are available at Georgetown University, where a shuttle will be provided to assist with transportation. Otherwise, out-of-town travelers are encouraged to find their own accommodation or coordinate with other conference attendees through the Facebook chat or the special conference app (on Whova), which will be made available following registration.
