I haven\u2019t seen any concrete instruction, but I believe that you go to the RootsTech website<\/a> at the scheduled time and look for a webcast window.\u00a0 Even though I attended the conference last year, I did watch the Saturday keynote from my hotel room because I was running behind, so I watched it while I got ready.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t really remember how I accessed it.<\/p>\n

I also believe that, like last year, these will be recorded and available at the RootsTech website<\/a> sometime after the conference.\u00a0 Last year I took advantage of this because there were two sessions that I wanted to attend during the same time slot.\u00a0 One of them was going to be streamed and recorded, so I attended the other one, then watched the recording after the conference.<\/p>\n
