General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Participants worship, witness, learn, connect, and make policy for the Association through democratic process. Anyone may attend; congregations must certify annually to have voting delegates.

General Assembly is the annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists, where we conduct business of the Association, explore the theological underpinnings of our faith, and lean fully into our mission and principles.

General Assembly 2023 will be a multiplatform event, with registration options for in-person and/or virtual participation. In-person registration includes access to events scheduled to take place in Pittsburgh, as well as everything available to virtual registrants. Full virtual registration includes access to the GA app, as well as all on-demand programming, live webinars, and live-streamed events.
Most GA events will take place at the 1.5 million-square-foot, Platinum LEED®-Certified David L. Lawrence Convention Center, 1000 Fort Duquesne Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA.
Congregational delegates, who register for GA, may access the GA Delegate Participation Platform, and vote on items in the 2023 Business Agenda. Each delegate credential also includes a unique link, which can be used to vote in the UUA Election this June. General Assembly registration is not required to vote in the election.
In June 2023, participants will have the option of attending GA in person in Pittsburgh, PA, or by virtual participation online. In June, all General Assembly registrants will have access to the GA event app, which combines multiple modes of participant engagement. Registrants are able to watch and ask questions in live sessions including workshops and business sessions (mini-assemblies, hearings, etc).
Every effort will be made to provide you with accommodations or assistive equipment to enable or enhance your GA experience. Whether you're attending in person or virtually, an Accessibility Services Coordinator will be available before and during GA to provide information and coordinate assistance to individuals with accessibility needs.
For five days each June, Unitarian Universalists come together to form the General Assembly community. During this dynamic and exciting time, relationships are formed within and across many identities, including age.
In order to raise interest and to help Unitarian Universalist congregations and partner organizations learn more about General Assembly, we have assembled these promotional resources to download, copy, or print for further distribution.
GA is an unforgettable experience for the 2,000+ attendees from 1,000+ UU congregations. We are pleased to provide premium sponsorship packages, in-person and virtual exhibit booths, and other advertising opportunities which will provide top-notch exposure to your organization.
