The 34th annual International Society conference will be held 8 April on BYU campus. This year's theme will be War, Diplomacy, and the Human Rights Dialogue: New Approaches for Latter-day Saint Professionals.
With war raging in regions around the globe, societal and governmental shifts can happen almost overnight. Are new methods of diplomacy emerging as countries increasingly gather to opposing sides?
Amidst the upheaval of war, is the dialogue on human rights viable or silenced in an era of survival of the fittest? How can Latter-day Saints navigate their professional pursuits in today’s climate while also preparing for the unexpected? We will explore these topics from education, government, religious and business leaders.
Hear from speakers Camille N. Johnson, Relief Society General President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Cole Durham, president of the G20 Interfaith Forum Association; and James Patton, president of the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy. Shane Reese, president of BYU, will provide the opening remarks. Panel discussions will feature academics and professionals from a variety of fields, including law, tech, and human rights.
