I’m very excited to be attending the Southern California Genealogical Society’s Jamboree June 5 to 7. (I loved the NGS conference so much, I’m ready for more learning!)
Here’s some great news: If you can’t attend in person, you can attend some of the sessions virtually. And there’s no charge, thanks to sponsor Ancestry.com.
Registration for live streaming is now open. Once you register, you’ll have access to all streaming sessions. (You don’t have to register for individual sessions.) Four sessions will be streamed on Friday, six on Saturday and four on Sunday. You can see the list of streaming sessions on this Jamboree blog post. You don’t even have to be available that weekend; you can watch archived versions of the Jamboree live streams up until July 5. If you want to purchase recordings to keep forever, that’s another available option (and there are savings if you pre-order).
I’m also attending the DNA Day on June 4. Live streaming is available for that day as well, for a fee. You can watch any of a select six individual sessions for $20 each or all six for $99. The schedule is detailed in this post. These sessions are not archived or recorded.
SCGS is wonderful about educating the public. They offer free webinars twice a month. The fact that fourteen of the Jamboree sessions are being offered free of charge to genealogy enthusiasts everywhere is really laudable. I look forward to meeting these generous people!
Oh my gosh, this is awesome! Thanks for the heads up Janine! Virtual Jamboree, here I come!
You’re welcome, Hazel! It’s really a great opportunity. I’m glad you’ll be joining virtually!
I’ve registered and am looking forward to the classes. Thanks for letting us know about this. Have a great time in California! I’m looking forward to hearing about the Jamboree.
Excellent, Vickie! I’m looking forward to more learning (though I haven’t digested everything I learned at NGS).
P.S. I attended the SCGS Jamboree several times when I lived in So. Cal. You’ll love it!
Thanks, Hazel. I’m excited!
I will have to look at the times of the sessions or watch the recordings at a later date
It’s really great that you can watch these archived recordings for up to a month after the event. For people like you, Marion, who live in a radically different time zone, that’s really helpful (and generous).
This is great, Janine – thanks so much! I’m all registered up. 🙂
You’re welcome, Nydia. Enjoy!
