NOTE: I am an official RootsTech Connect Ambassador.

There are currently 264,000+ people registered for the first virtual RootsTech experience.

RootsTech Connect 2021 is only two weeks away and I have the news for which everyone has been waiting – the Keynote Schedule AND the Sessions Schedule.

First, there is the Keynote Speaker Schedule with a local time converter included.

Being virtual, this year’s RootsTech format is somewhat different. There are hundreds of session from which to choose – the RootsTech-Connect-2021-Sessions-eng is 18 pages long!!! – and sessions can be viewed on demand for the next 12 months.

The sessions are listed by title, rather than by speaker, which I actually prefer. It is much easier, at least to me, to scan session titles to determine whether or not I want to add it to my viewing schedule.

In some ways, this virtual conference is better than traveling to Salt Lake City. Although it’s disappointing that there will be no meet ups with old friends nor the making of any new friends this year AND no visit to the Family History Library, I am really looking forward to MANY MORE session choices.

Even better, I won’t have to choose one class and pass up another because of a schedule conflict.

There is also the cost factor, with no travel, lodging or food expenses incurred.

If you haven’t yet registered, or wish more detailed information about this year’s RootsTech Connect 2021, visit RootsTech.

In the meantime, mark your calendars for 25-27 February 2021 and be prepared for a great learning experience from the comfort of your home that is being provided by FamilySearch for FREE.
