Local and regional conventions also unified the brothers. Many of those conventions featured service days, such as the one held in Winnepeg, Canada. On March 31, this convention featured a "Special Bombardment of Winnipeg," in which all conventioneer's were invited to take part. Service days like this laid the groundwork for future expansion. On August 5, an estimated 7,000 people attended another convention in Winnepeg. At the time, this was the highest attendance ever for convention in Canada.
The most significant convention of Jehovah's people in 1923 was held August 18-26, in Los Angeles, California. In the weeks leading up to the convention, newspapers carried advertisements for the event and Bible Students delivered more then 500,000 handbiills. Advertising banners were affixed to streetcars and private vehicles.
