President usually happens after death and with the succession well in order it hardly seems to await the next conference. At least going to Wikipedia and seeing when presidents of the church started the dates are not that close to conference. However usually the calling of apostles awaits the next c...

Breaking with tradition a guy without a middle or first initial is called well before the next general conference. https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/elder-patrick-kearon-called-quorum-of-the-twelve-apostles I can only remember of one talk by the guy and it was actually something I cou...
