February 28, 2021
Just over five dozen new events added this past week, but I’m sure it’s because of the MILLION-PLUS people who were busy watching all of the online sessions of RootsTech Connect. I know you’ve probably heard this a thousand times already, but it’s definitely worth mentioning again: the thousands of recorded presentations and sessions will remain available to watch for free for a full year. If you create a sign-in (also free), you can save sessions from the Netflix-like menu to your Playlist to watch whenever you want. www.RootsTech.org

Thank you for your replies!
A few more changes are rolling out again this week based on the feedback from last week’s email questions (and some from before that even). For now the calendar will contain a mix of VIRTUAL and (V) as I get the transition completed – It’s just a daunting task to go in and change all of the already-posted events, so please bear with me.
If you want to get the inside scoop on what’s going on at ConferenceKeeper sign up for the email – it’s free and only goes out once a week.
As always, if you have suggestions or comments, please feel free to use the CONTACT form on the website or email me!
