One of the largest organizers of global conventions will once again draw thousands to Baltimore
BALTIMORE, Md. – June 7, 2024 – In a world where bad news endlessly streams on social media, TV and radio, a three-day live event open to the public will deliver only good news!

One of the largest convention organizations in the world returns to Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore with a much-anticipated motivational program to comfort and encourage the public.
Jehovah’s Witnesses will present their 2024 “Declare the Good News!” convention series beginning the weekend of June 28-30, 2024. The free event is expected to draw more than 28,000 attendees to the city over the course of seven weekends – fueling the city’s economy with local spending at stores, hotels and restaurants.
“We are excited to return again to the beautiful campus of UMBC,” said Cliff Patterson, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “We look forward to these conventions every year, and we are happy to enjoy the program once again in this welcoming and hospitable city.”
The “Declare the Good News!” convention will present Bible-based videos, discourses and interviews on topics such as…
- Why Do We Need Good News?
- What Will You Do for the Sake of the Good News?
- Why We Don’t Fear Bad News
Saturday spotlights a baptism of candidates from surrounding communities, while a two part video feature will captivate the audience on Friday and Saturday mornings. Prior to each convention, local congregations will engage in a campaign to invite community members to this free event.
Last year, nearly 13 million people attended more than 6,000 three-day conventions worldwide.
