RootsTech is the premiere genealogy and technology conference, for anyone with an interest in genealogy and family history, from beginners to professionals. RootsTech 2016 begins with the one-day Innovator’s Summit on Wednesday, which focuses on emerging technologies in family history research. RootsTech officially opens on Thursday, with a multitude of classes and the opening of the Expo hall following the keynote address.
The first RootsTech, held in 2011, was attended by about 3,000 people, and attendance has grown exponentially since. RootsTech 2015 saw just under 24,000 attendees, with a host of great keynote speakers, including Donny Osmond, as well as top-notch entertainment at after-conference events. This year’s conference is sure to be just as amazing, and, if things continue as they have historically, this will be the best RootsTech ever.
From the conference, you can expect
- Excellent keynote speakers
- A wide variety of classes, workshops, and other presentations
