What’s Coming in Discovery for the Salt Lake Temple Open House

The Salt Lake Temple Open House is a historic moment—and Discovery experiences are evolving to help every visitor connect personally to their story in powerful new ways.

In this session, get an exclusive preview of upcoming Discovery updates designed to meet a global audience. Explore new country-specific content that helps individuals see how their heritage fits into a worldwide family narrative. Learn how enhanced surname insights can uncover meaning and cultural identity in ways that spark curiosity and belonging. Experience interactive activities created to help individuals and families discover who they are, where they come from, and why their story matters.

More than features and tools, this session highlights how Discovery experiences can strengthen resilience, deepen identity, and create lasting connection across generations. When people see themselves in a larger story—rooted in family, culture, and faith—confidence grows and relationships are strengthened.

Walk away with a clear vision of what’s coming, practical ideas for guiding others through meaningful discovery moments, and a renewed sense of how family history can transform the open house visit into a deeply personal experience of identity and connection.
