President Nelson specifically describes the conference as being more than memorable, it will be unforgettable. A nice pageant or a special broadcast to me are memorable events, but I've had only a handful of unforgettable moments in my life, probably 3-4 highly spiritual experiences and then 9/11.
I was listening to president Nelson's talk again and noticed that not everyone will have an unforgettable experience, but only those that properly prepare for it.
”Select your own questions. Design your own plan. Immerse yourself in the glorious light of the Restoration. As you do, general conference next April will be not only memorable; it will be unforgettable.”

Fantastic point thank you. That reminds me of the verses in D&C that talks about signs that only those who believe will behold.
D&C 63:7 And he that seeketh signs shall see signs, but not unto salvation.
8 Verily, I say unto you, there are those among you who seek signs, and there have been such even from the beginning;
9 But, behold, faith cometh not by signs, but signs follow those that believe.
10 Yea, signs come by faith, not by the will of men, nor as they please, but by the will of God.
11 Yea, signs come by faith, unto mighty works, for without faith no man pleaseth God; and with whom God is angry he is not well pleased; wherefore, unto such he showeth no signs, only in wrath unto their condemnation.
12 Wherefore, I, the Lord, am not pleased with those among you who have sought after signs and wonders for faith, and not for the good of men unto my glory.
64 For, verily, the sound must go forth from this place into all the world, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth—the gospel must be preached unto every creature, with signs following them that believe.
65 And behold the Son of Man cometh. Amen.
I'm sure verse 65 is a coincidence. Oh wait, what's this?
D&C 68:10 And he that believeth shall be blest with signs following, even as it is written.
11 And unto you it shall be given to know the signs of the times, and the signs of the coming of the Son of Man;
D&C 45:39 And it shall come to pass that he that feareth me shall be looking forth for the great day of the Lord to come, even for the signs of the coming of the Son of Man.
40 And they shall see signs and wonders, for they shall be shown forth in the heavens above, and in the earth beneath.
Might this be related to next conference? Maybe - we shall see!
