Virtual Genealogical Conference

The Virtual Genealogical Association has just announced its upcoming 2019 virtual conference - one that can be enjoyed from the comfort of home by those of us who find it difficult - or impossible - to attend the wonderful genealogy conferences being held around the world.

While the VGA itself is based in America and the conference times for live sessions are largely in the middle of the night for us Aussies, all sessions will be available for viewing for 6 months after the conference, so we won't miss out (and can re-watch sessions if we want to pick up things we missed the first time!).  They will even be adding closed captioning of sessions within 7 days of the live broadcast.

The conference covers a wide range of topics, so there is something for everyone.  Australian research, British research, German and European research, DNA, preserving and archiving, oral histories - the list of topics goes on!

The conference is very reasonable priced too - $59US for VGA members and $79US for non-members.  Since membership for a full year is only $20US, you might want to consider taking out membership and seeing what else the VGA has to offer.
