At a time when happiness eludes many, Jehovah’s Witnesses are inviting the public to attend their annual global convention series with the theme “Eternal Happiness.”
The Witnesses are one of the largest non-profit convention organizers in the world, and this year they will return to the CN Centrein Prince George, BC with a free, three-day program that explores how everlasting happiness can be achieved through spirituality founded on practical Bible principles.
“Who doesn’t want more happiness?” said Max Correia, Regional Spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in British Columbia. “Happiness feels increasingly elusive. We all feel it. This year’s convention program explains how to be happy and how to remain happy. All in attendance will discover the real joy that comes from a solid hope for the future.”
Scott McWalter, Executive Director at Tourism Prince George, commented, “We are happy to support the 2026 Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses! This 3-day convention leads to over 220 Prince George hotel room bookings, which will significantly enhance the city’s visitor economy.”
Prince George has been a host city for Jehovah’s Witnesses conventions going back to 1964.
“We are thrilled to be back at the CN Centre. This event truly is a highlight of the year for us, and we want the community to feel very welcome to drop by and enjoy the program with us,” Correia added.
Convention attendees are coming from across northern and central BC, from Haida Gwaii and the North Coast to Fort Nelson in the northeast. The timely event will draw more than 1,900 attendees daily to Prince George beginning July 10, 2026.
Additionally, the same program will be presented at 19 international conventions throughout the year. These large-scale events will be hosted in countries such as Portugal, Poland, South Africa, and Thailand and will welcome thousands of delegates from all over the world.
Along with Bible-based videos and interviews, the “Eternal Happiness” convention will present intriguing discourses with topics such as:
- Abundant Happiness Forever — Is It Realistic?
- Why Are You Anxious?
- Have You Discovered the Treasure?
The much-anticipated Episodes 4, 5, and 6 of “The Good News According to Jesus” will debut on consecutive days of the convention. The 18-episode video series is an accurate depiction of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and is based solely on the Gospel accounts. Episode 1 was released during the 2024 convention series, and Episodes 2 and 3 in 2025. The Saturday program also includes a baptism.
Last year, Jehovah’s Witnesses hosted over 6,000 conventions in nearly 500 languages with the theme “Pure Worship.” This included 19 international conventions held in 13 countries. Over 12 million people attended.
