Last year's inaugural RootsTech conference in Salt Lake City was one of the most exciting genealogy conferences I've ever attended. I'm excited to participate once again in 2012, both as a speaker and Legacy Family Tree vendor. I will be presenting a brand new class, RootsTech Genealogy Idol:
Attend the first-ever RootsTech Genealogy Idol competition as four contestants – 2 live and 2 online – compete for your votes. In the three rounds of competition, contestants will demonstration their gen-tech expertise and try to woo you with their favorite gen-tech secrets. Everyone will learn – but only one will leave with the title of RootsTech Genealogy Idol. The competition will also be broadcast to a live webinar audience who will cast their votes for the winner.
I'll publish more information soon and also invite you, our Legacy News audience, to submit proposals to participate in this class. Below is more information about the conference.
