Just 3 Days Until RootsTech 2018 Starts, Sessions will be LiveStreamed Each Day

We mentioned it in our Assorted Catchup ... post back on January 15, and now RootsTech 2018 is just days away.

RootsTech is a genealogy and technology conference held each year in Salt Lake City, Utah. And like in previous years you can take part from the comfort of your favorite seat in your own home or where ever you happen to be with a good internet connection. Several sessions of RootsTech 2018 will be LiveSteamed each day so that those who cannot attend in person can take part in the learning.

Class session handouts are available online, see our separate post on accessing the 2018 class session handouts.

Remember class times are listed in Mountain Time at the RootsTech website and in the RootsTech App. We are Eastern Time which is 2 hours ahead. So 8:30 am Mountain is 10:30 am Eastern. For your convenience we have listed the Live Stream Schedule here using Eastern Time and have included the class session numbers to make it easier finding the handouts.

Here's the Live Stream list according to Eastern Time.
