The RootsTech Conference is being held in Salt Lake City from Feb 10 to 12. Several of the sessions are available live and online – and for free! Sorry about the short notice. I thought this had been announced by FamilySearch and sent out to everyone – but I met with a group of consultants last night and no one had heard about it.
Go to http://rootstech.familysearch.org/
Look for the link in Free Live Presentations Online – on the right after you scroll down
Some sessions from each of the 3 days are being broadcast live.
RootsTech is a new FH Conference. It replaces the annual Computers and Genealogy Conference usually held at BYU.
“RootsTech is a new conference designed to bring technologists together with genealogists, so they can learn from each other and find solutions to the challenges we face in family history research today. Genealogists and family historians will discover exciting new research tools while technology creators will learn the latest development techniques from industry leaders and pioneers.”
I hear that around 2000 people are in attendance.
Will we be able to view them at a later time?
Just not available to view the live stream sometimes…
Wish I was there…

Don’t know . . . but I’m hoping
Ken and I are at the RootsTech Conference and there are over 2,000 participants. We have just attended the first day of the conference and have been amazed at all the latest technology. Multiple lecture tracks feature an array of knowledgeable speakers. The large vendor area has all the latest publications, electronic research aids, FamilySearch demo areas as well as work stations with multiple computers. Best of all is joining with others who share a passion for family history!
Congratulations Ken and Bev – glad to hear that you are there – the rest of us would be very pleased if you could share the key learnings from the conference! Perhaps email me and we will make it a special article.
