Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting is the day each year in October on which a special programme is delivered to an audience of Witnesses (mostly Bethelites).

It is also on this day that the legally required corporate meeting (known as the Annual Meeting of the Watchtower Society, or the Annual Corporate Meeting) is also held.

= History = In recent decades, emphasis has been put on the special programme of talks (usually delivered by members of the Governing Body) rather than the "formal" (corporate) portion of the day's events.

Since October 2014, the special programme has been recorded and available to the general public to view online at tv.jw.org

In December 2017, it was announced via JW Broadcasting that the "spiritual portion of the Annual Meeting" will be incorporated into the monthly JW Broadcasting programmes, in order to allow time for translation departments to complete the translation of the talks into the languages each Remote Translation Office is responsible for.
