RootsTech has released its 18-page list of more than 600 English-language classes, along with the livestream schedule of keynote presentations for the global conference that will take place in just over a week.
For the first time, the world’s largest family history conference will be entirely virtual and completely free.
RootsTech Connect will be live from February 25 to 27 at rootstech.org. There is no set schedule for the classes. It appears registrants will be able to watch any class when they want. The news gets even better. All of the content will be available following the live event for at least 12 months.
The lists of classes and keynotes, available in PDF, are posted just above registration on the RootsTech home page.
Since this will be a global event, there will be presentations in multiple languages. It’s expected the lists of these presentations will be made available soon.
The regions covered by the presentations are Africa, Africa/Caribbean, Africa/North America, Asia, Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Europe, India, Latin America, Middle East, North American, and Oceania.
