Registration is now open for the National Genealogical Society’s 2016 conference! It will be held May 4-7 in Ft. Lauderdale. I attended the 2015 conference and was very impressed by the quality of the sessions I sat in on. I’m planning to attend this year’s conference and am really looking forward to it.
For the past two years, I’ve attended RootsTech and have enjoyed it as well, though I found the enormity (15,000 or more attendees) a bit overwhelming. This year, it’s being held February 3-6 in Salt Lake City. I decided not to attend because we have a new puppy and I don’t want to saddle my husband with all the work. (Plus, I’d miss Bix, my puppy!) I hope to get back to RootsTech in 2017.
I’m also giving serious consideration to attending the Southern California Genealogical Society’s Genealogy Jamboree once again. I loved it last year. It will be held June 3-5 in Burbank, California.
Do you attend genealogy conferences? Which conferences will you attend this year? If you’re planning to be at NGS or the Jamboree, please let me know in the comments!
I would attend conferences, but there are none here in the UK, that I am aware of. There seems to be more chance if I were to move over to yourselves in the USA, but currently that is not an option!
Marion, you might want to check out Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter, whose website has a page on genealogy conference in the UK. I’m not sure where you are, but it looks like there might be some opportunities for you to attend conferences! http://eogn.wikidot.com/eogn-calendar:united-kingdom
