For the second year-in-a-row, I have been selected as an Official Blogger for RootsTech!  The third annual RootsTech conference will be held March 21-23, 2013 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Building on the success and growth over the past two years, RootsTech 2013 is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet!  Registration is now open…keep reading to find out how you can save $90 on the full conference rate.

Preparing for my trip to RootsTech 2012: Review syllabi of session to make a final decision on which to attend Add selected session syllabi to Kindle Fire RootsTech app on Android phone (also Apple App Store) Expo Hall map saved to cell phone and Kindle Fire Families app on Kindle Fire (synched with Legacy and ready to go) FHL research list Important research documents saved to the cloud Research toolkit (including laptop, Flip-Pal scanner, notebook, pencils, camera) GeneaBlogger beads (geesh, I almost forgot!!)  

Don’t forget to visit the Expo Hall while attending the RootsTech 2012 conference.  This is your chance to learn more about genealogy-related products and services.

RootsTech 2012 is right around the corner so I thought I’d share some tips for attending the conference.  While a version of this article appeared on this blog in August 2011, I have made a few changes and added a tip.

I can’t believe that in less than a month, I will be on a plane and headed to Salt Lake City for some research at the Family History Library and to attend the RootsTech 2012 Conference.  There’s still plenty of time to register for RootsTech 2012, which will be held February 2-4, 2012.  And, if you register by January 13, you’ll save $40 off the full-conference rate.  For a list of sessions, visit the RootsTech Schedule page.

I am very pleased to announce Doug Williams as the winner of the RootsTech 2012 free registration giveaway that was hosted here on GenBlog.  I asked entrants to answer the following question:  Besides access to records online, what one tech-thing has helped you the most with your genealogy research and how has it helped you?

Don’t forget, I’m holding a drawing for a free RootsTech 2012 Conference registration.  You have until tomorrow (Friday, November 18th) to enter. Details and entry instructions are available in my previous post:  You’ve Come to the Right Place…Enter to Win a Free RootsTech 2012 Registration. You can’t win if you don’t enter!!
