For the first time ever, FamilySearch’s genealogy mega-conference RootsTech is completely online and completely free! RootsTech Connect features hundreds of both live and recorded sessions from a wide variety of topics. Check out both the “main stage” streaming schedule as well as the list of available classes to plan you own RootsTech Connect viewing schedule. Once you register, you’ll have access to the RootsTech Connect website, which will feature video on-demand sessions (similar to how Netflix looks and works).
In addition to entertaining and informative sessions, RootsTech Connect will feature a virtual Expo Hall. Here, you can find products and services from your favorite genealogy and family history companies—including Family Tree Magazine! Finally, don’t miss the virtual cultural celebrations, games and activities for youth of all ages. This is a true family event you don’t want to miss!
For more insight into RootsTech Connect, check out our interview with Jen Allen from FamilySearch on the Family Tree Podcast.
