RootsTech 2019 is Almost Here! Here is your Survival Guide

https://www.rootstech.org/blog/survival-guide-rootstech-2019?et_cid=1304388&et_rid=107108866&linkid=CTA&cid=em-rt-8071

The weather reports for the Salt Lake City area are not very favorable for the week of RootsTech 2019. That looks like cold weather and snow. FamilySearch has been concerned about this and many other things that you should know about the RootsTech 2019 conference. They have published a RootsTech Survival Guide linked above. Some of the things that have changed for the upcoming conference include the following list send out by email. Here is a list of those things that have changed from past years:
Conference Updates 
In addition to increased customer service, here are a few more things we’re doing to make RootsTech 2019 a success for you:
  • Free WiFi. We’re testing the Salt Palace’s new system and providing free, high-speed internet to all attendees, courtesy of FamilySearch.
  • Increased Staff Support. You’ll notice an increased number of staff positioned throughout the Salt Palace to assist you. They’ll be wearing bright turquoise shirts that say “Ask Me Anything”. They can help you find your classes and assist you with any other needs.
  • RootsTech Daily Rundown. Each day when you arrive at the Salt Palace, you’ll be given a printed handout with a summary of the day’s events and most popular classes. These handouts will also be available in the Documents section of the mobile app.
  • Larger Classrooms. We’ve increased the size of classrooms and added a new room, the Ruby Room, which seats over 3,000.
  • Trace.com Coaches’ Corner. Bring your biggest genealogy roadblocks and find answers at the Trace.com Coaches’ Corner in the Expo Hall. Over 400 slots are available with expert genealogists. Sign up here: https://coaches.trace.com.
If this is your first time attending RootsTech, then I would certainly advise you to review the Survival Guide. Here is the link: A Survival Guide to RootsTech 2019.

I hope to see you there.
