Global YSA Convention to Be Held in Finland in 2026

The Global YSA Convention, an annual gathering for young single adults ages 18 to 35, will return in 2026 with Finland as its host nation.

The convention, which rotates each year among the Nordic countries of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, draws hundreds of participants for a week of devotionals, service, and cultural activities. Designed to strengthen faith and build friendships, the event has become a spiritual and social anchor for Latter-day Saint young adults across Europe and beyond.

Originating in Sweden in the early 20th century, the gathering has steadily expanded to include young adults from dozens of countries. Each convention combines worship and leadership instruction with recreational and cultural programs, reflecting its dual mission to deepen discipleship and foster belonging.

Organizers in Finland are preparing for the 2026 event, with more details expected in the months ahead.
