RootsTech 2025 starts a month from tomorrow! This year’s theme is “Discover.” It will be held 6 to 8 March 2025.
If you haven’t registered yet, you can register for the in-person conference ($129 registration fee for three days or $79 for one day) or the online conference (free). Whichever way you go, you can start building your schedule now. Here’s a detailed blog post from RootsTech on how to plan your schedule.
Looking at the schedule, I see that this year there are 151 online classes to choose from and 236 in-person classes to choose from. If you have the ability to attend in person, I doubt you’ll regret it. Not only do you get more options for classes, you get to meet presenters and fellow participants and explore the expo hall and, best of all, you can leave your non-genealogy cares behind and focus on your research interests while you’re there.
I’ve attended four RootsTech conferences in person (2015, 2017, 2018 and 2020) and thoroughly enjoyed each, despite my dislike of crowds.
If you’re serious about your genealogy research, I urge you to register for RootsTech and create your class schedule, whether you’re attending in-person or online. It’s an unparalleled learning opportunity!
Thanks for the reminder. I had registered for the on line version and sorta forgot about it. Thanks for the link to schedule the on line sessions.
I hope you enjoy the conference, Jerry!
Someone recently posted a very neat app for planning your participation at RootsTech. It works on PCs, Macs and probably smart phones. However, I have lost the link. Do you know about it? If so, can you please send me the link or direct me to the site?
Sorry, I don’t think I know what you’re talking about. I know that RootsTech has an app that’s available to participants. And the RootsTech website offers a page for planning your schedule. There’s a tab on the RootsTech Schedule page that says My Schedule. When you select classes it adds them to your schedule. Was that what you were thinking of? Here’s the link to that: https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech/schedule?day=2025-03-05&tab=my_schedule. You have to be logged in. Enjoy RootsTech!
