I was lucky to be able to attend the LOS ANGELES conference, one o the 41 Conferences around the world: Los Angeles, USA (see my cell phone video below)

The Universal House of Justice, in a letter dated 20 October 2008, announced the convocation of a series of 41 regional conferences over a four-month period. The letter which marked the midway point of a five-year effort to expand activities at the grassroots level indicated that the purpose of the conferences is to celebrate achievements during the first half of the Five Year Plan and to deliberate on the next phase.
