The 2015 Parliament of the World’s Religions

When:    October 15 – 19, 2015

Where:   Salt Palace Convention Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

The Parliament is the oldest, the largest, and the most inclusive gathering of people of all faith and traditions.

 The first Parliament took place in 1893. Since, this historic event has taken place in Chicago, USA  • Cape Town, South Africa  • Barcelona, Spain  • Melbourne, Australia – and now in Salt Lake City, Utah!

Who Should Attend?

 If you care for religions and nations working together in harmony with each other for the good of humanity, you should attend.

 You must attend…

…if you are concerned about wars, terrorism, and hate,

…if you care for creation or are worried about climate change,

…if you are troubled by the widening wealth gap and wasteful consumption

 …Because there will be Nobel Laureates, experts, religious leaders, master trainers and activists at the Parliament who will share their opinions with you in panels, workshops, and plenaries on these issues.

 You will also find:

• Trainings in dialogue, interfaith activism, fundraising, and organizing
• World-class religious music, films, exhibits and performances
• And shop ethnic, international, religious books & things

Your Opportunity to Share 

You can also submit your proposal for sharing with others how people of faith work with each other in your community or on the common causes of war and violence, climate change, and wealth disparity.

In break-out sessions and circles you will share your opinions and ideas with others.

Networking & Connections

The Parliament is a great networking opportunity. 60 percent of people who attend are well-connected networkers around interfaith and common causes.

You can attend to share your faith, listen to others and ask questions.

Most people, however, attend because of the extraordinary experience and relationships which are formed at the Parliament.

How Much Does it Cost to Attend the Parliament?

You can register for as low as $79 to attend if you qualify and do it today.

Pricing will go up to $550 if you register later. However, right now as an early bird super-saver, you can access up to 60 percent discounts open now for families, spouses, groups (like congregations, university classes, peace organizations), individuals, and children, too.  The Parliament is committed to involving families and children in the Interfaith movement.

Attend the 2015 Golden Banquet

At the heart of the Parliament will be an award gala. It will be hosted by stars who make our world a better place to live by following the Golden rule. It is intended to raise funds for the future of the interfaith movement which struggles in the absence of funding. You can buy tickets for Golden Banquet at registration.

Host a Pre-Parliament Event

Parliament Ambassadors and interested organizations host pre-Parliament events to share the opportunity to come to a Parliament within their communities, and to bring critical relationships and actions to the Parliament from interfaith action at the grassroots level across the world. Contact preparliament@parliamentofreligions.org for more information.

Sponsor a Student

These gifts will help pass the torch of the interfaith movement to a vibrant generation of emerging voices. You can offer these gifts at registration. If you are unable to attend the 2015 Parliament but would like to make a gift, we thank you to visit our secure, tax-deductible gifts page here.

Whereas students are leading the charge in many areas a Parliament addresses, since they are students with limited budgets (not to mention the whole student loan thing!) their participation in the interfaith movement is constrained. For that reason we have reduced student registration to only $79 when they register early. At the same time, we are inviting you to offset that cost by donating for our student fund. Some of the attendees will need scholarships.
