FamilySearch announced recently that its free online family history event RootsTech Connect will return for a second year on 3-5 March 2022.
FamilySearch has hosted the RootsTech family history conference in Salt Lake City annually from 2011 to 2020. In September 2020, in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it announced that the 2021 conference would be replaced by RootsTech Connect – a free, global online event in that was held in February 2021.
Steve Rockwood, FamilySearch International CEO, said: “After RootsTech Connect 2021, we realized that we could bring the joy of family history to millions of people, no matter where they are, through an online, virtual RootsTech experience. As we continue to chart new territory with RootsTech, we plan to make the virtual event a regular part of the experience and look forward to all the new opportunities that will open to people everywhere.”
RootsTech Connect 2021 was attended by over one million people from 240 countries and featured online family history talks and classes, a virtual Expo Hall and message boards for visitors to chat to one another.
For 2023 and beyond, RootsTech said it planned to offer “a hybrid online and in-person model with content that is expanded and accessed throughout the year”.
So keep an eye on the website for future announcements of topics, talks and speakers, and be ready for another round of amazing talks. Remember many of the RootsTech 2021 talks remain available to view on demand , so check out what is available.
