Have you signed up for RootsTech yet? It's that time of year again when the big conference happens in Salt Lake City. It didn't used to be such a big thing. I remember someone in my genealogy society talking about going to the RootsTech conference some time ago back when my society used to meet in person. (I miss getting together like that.)
Back then, when that person talked about attending RootsTech, I thought it would be interesting to check it out someday. Then I remembered that it snowed in Salt Lake City and the conference was in early March so I put it off. So I didn't get to see any of the conferences in the beginning years. Since then they've grown exponentially as we moved online during the COVID years and now the RootsTech conference reaches viewers in many corners of the world through the magic of technology.
I finally did get to check RootsTech out in person in 2025. There were many classes to choose from and sometimes I wondered if I would be able to get from one end of the Salt Palace Convention Center to the other in time for my next class. Planning distances became part of my strategy for the sessions I chose as well as figuring out which classes I would be able to follow up on later and which ones I could only see in person. And yes, it did snow while I was there but it disappeared quickly and I spent most of my time inside.
