Brigham Young University will host the 2015 BYU Women's Conference, the largest two-day gathering of women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, on Thursday and Friday, April 30 and May 1. This year's theme, "My Soul Delighteth in the Covenants of the Lord," comes from 2 Nephi 11:5.

Nelson, and Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women general president. Friday's speakers will include BYU President Kevin J Worthen and his wife, Peggy.

The conference, co-sponsored by the Relief Society, will have more than 200 presenters sharing their perspectives and insights on a variety of topics of interest and concern to LDS women of all ages.
