Eight hours of the BYU Women's Conference will be broadcast to LDS Church units in Europe and the British Isles over the LDS Church satellite system for capture beginning at 6 a.m. on May 6. This first-time broadcast will be in Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. Friday's broadcasts will begin at 3 p.m. with Camille Fronk, Sally H. Barlow, Margaret and Stephen D. Nadauld, Heidi S. Swinton, Virginia H. Pearce, Carol Hillam, Jolene Merica, Wendy L. Watson, S. Michael Wilcox, Sharon G. Larsen and Ardeth G. Kapp. That afternoon, Truman G. Madsen, Steve Young, Virginia U. Jensen and Sheri L. Dew will speak at a general session in the Marriott Center beginning at 3 p.m. In addition to these opportunities, the Women's Conference planning committee has set a goal of collecting 2,000 units of blood during the conference in what will be the largest woman-sponsored blood drive in American Red Cross history.
Prospective donors can sign up for an appointment through the conference web site.
All proceeds from the performance will fund a special project to be announced at the closing session of Women's Conference. All sessions of the conference will require a conference name badge. In anticipation that enrollments for the conference will surpass record attendance levels set in 1999, overflow conference tickets will be available after all Marriott Center seating has been sold. General sessions for overflow conference attendees will be shown on a large screen in the Smith Fieldhouse. Concurrent sessions from the Marriott Center, the Wilkinson Center Ballroom, the de Jong Concert Hall and the Pardoe Theatre will be shown in the Tanner Building and the Richards Buildings.
