RootsTech 2021 will be virtual (and free!)

September 4, 2020 By Janine Adams 9 Comments

Have you heard the news? RootsTech has announced that next year’s conference–rebranded RootsTech Connect for 2021–will be entirely virtual. To be held February 25 to 27, 2021, has a wonderful global vibe. Perhaps the best part in terms of inclusivity? It will be free of charge! You can read details of the announcement here on the RootsTech website. And you can register on the spot with a little bot in the right corner of the screen. It took me less than a minute to register.

So what does this virtual conference look like? The organizers say it will be unlike any virtual genealogy conference.

RootsTech Connect is different than any other virtual event—no boring speakers or falling asleep at your computer screen. Rather, enjoy dozens of inspirational learning sessions, uplifting messages from celebrity keynote speakers, and hands-on activities to help you celebrate your heritage all year long.

I’m intrigued, especially by the hands-on activities! I know the capabilities of the smart people who organize this conference and I am confident they can pull it off. I’m delighted that content will be available for viewing for a year after the conference. (I don’t know if that’s selected content, as usual, or if it will be all the content.)

This multi-cultural video, on the RootsTech landing page, made me feel great.

Since everything is so uncertain right now in this world of COVID, I am so happy to know what’s happening with RootsTech. It’s on my calendar and I can’t wait to attend! How about you?  Have you/will you sign up?

    I have already signed up. I am in London and RootsTech London 2020 was cancelled, so this will be a great way to enjoy it (if a few months later than the London event was planned for). Fingers crossed RootsTech London 2021 will go ahead, it is scheduled for September 2021.

    I just signed up! Thanks for the tip. I have already put a note on my calendar to request PTO as soon as January rolls around again.

    I have registered! I am looking forward to it. I have attended online since it started. It is the highlight of my year. I hope to get there in person someday.

      It’ll be interesting to see the differences in the online experience next year. I bet it will be terrific.

    I live in Ga but went to Roots London Oct 2019 so looking forward to 2021 virtual . Couldn’t make the Salt Lake City in Feb. I was on the Grand Princess Ship in the Pacific (the Covid 19)

    I am so excited it’s hard to describe. Attending RootsTech has been on my bucket list forever. Still hoping to make it in person one year, particularly now that it is in London too. A big thankyou to the incredible team putting this virtual event together. Something to look forward to in this crazy world we find ourselves.

      This is definitely a silver lining of the pandemic. I think it will be great!

about me

I'm Janine Adams, a professional organizer and a genealogy enthusiast. I love doing family history research, but I find it's very easy for me to get overwhelmed and not know where to turn next. So I'm working hard to stay organized and feel in control as I grow my family tree.

In this blog, I share my discoveries and explorations, along with my organizing challenges (and solutions). I hope by sharing what I learn along the way I'll be able to help you stay focused and have fun while you do your research, too.
