RootsTech is the largest global genealogy conference. It is held in Salt Lake City, Utah and is hosted by FamilySearch.
If you are lucky enough to attend the conference in person you will be able to attend keynote addresses by:
- The Scott Brothers - Entertainment Duo
- Buddy "Cake Boss" Valastro - "Cake Boss" need I say more?
- LeVar Burton (AKA Geordi La Forge in Star Trek TNG)
- CeCe Moore - Genetic Genealogist
In addition to these four great keynotes, attendees are able to select from over 200 sessions in 6 tracks:
- DNA
- Tools
- Photos
- Stories
- Organizing
- Discovery
An expo hall with vendors and other attractions like:
- Discovery Zone
- Innovation Alley
- Coaches Corner (New)
All of this is available over 4 days for a low cost:
- RootsTech Pass - $209/$269 - Most popular pass. This is the pass that gets you access to everything. (That is only $50 per day if you get the early bird pass)
- Innovator Summit Pass (Sorry, Sold Out - $99/$139) - Gets you access to the Innovator Summit Sessions.
- Getting Started Pass ($69/$89) - This is the pass if you are just getting started in genealogy.
One day I plan on attending RootsTech in person, but until then I must be happy with THE STREAMED PRESENTATIONS. YES, they stream some of the sessions. Join me as we sit at our desks and join the conference for free!
I have created a google calendar of the streamed sessions here.
If you live in Utah or are planning a trip there this week plan on attending RootsTech. If you are stuck looking from a distance, enjoy the free sessions they stream. Either way, it's a great way to learn more about a great hobby!
