They're all possible. It would depend, for me, on the context. If, for example, I were announcing it, I would probably use 'will'. If I were discussing arrangements, I'd use the present progressive.

Hi,

Thank you, Tdol for your answer.
I would like to know when to use "be going to" in the case.

Thank you very much.

If just talking about it, but not thinking about arrangements, etc.
