Jehovah’s Witnesses have invited the public to a three-day event in Taiwan from 3 to 5 July 2026. It is part of an annual series of conferences held around the world, and this year’s theme is “Happiness for eternity,” presented under the title “Happiness for All” 2026. The group frames the event around a common observation, that many people feel they are moving away from happiness.

The programmes are free and will take place at the Ko-Yo Exhibition and the New North Tree Sports Museum. According to the announcement, the sessions will explore how to achieve lasting happiness through the Bible. The shows will include speeches, interviews and videos based on the Bible, and there will be a break of an hour and 20 minutes at noon each day.

A Witness identified as King Yvon of Taiwan said, “Everyone wants to be happy.” He said the conference would address how to achieve happiness and how to keep it, and that participants would find that true joy comes from having a firm hope for the future.

The conference is expected to draw more than 15,000 participants, including about 2,500 foreign representatives from 15 countries. Foreign delegates will stay for about three weeks after the conference and visit about 20 local sites, a gathering of people from many nations that reflects the value of unity (Psalm 133:1). International conferences will also be held in Portugal, South Africa and Thailand.

The three-day programme will include the fourth to sixth editions of the Jesus’ Life series, which will be broadcast for the first time. The series, which the group says presents the life and ministry of Jesus faithfully according to the Gospels, first aired in 2024, with the second and third editions following in 2025.

Last year, Jehovah’s Witnesses held more than 6,000 conferences in nearly 500 languages under the theme “Right Worship.” These included 19 international conferences in 13 countries, which the group says were attended by more than 12 million people. Further information about the 2026 event is available at Jw.org under “About our convention.”
