Live Streaming Sessions at RootsTech 2013

RootsTech confirmed the sessions that will be streamed live during the conference March 21-23. Instructions on how to do so will be available on the website next week so check back then.

This is a great deal from the RootsTech crew and kudos to all who make it happen. There is a live stream of a class for each time slot. It's like having an entire conference streamed into your house for free. Keep that in mind and be thankful.

Here's a list. If you can't make these times, sessions are usually recorded and available at the RootsTech website at a later date (based on the last two conferences.)

  1. Thanks Amy for the info! This is so cool that they are doing this! If I wasn't already going to be at RootsTech with BillionGraves, I would totally take advantage of this.

    Where are you going to be at RootsTech? I would love to meet you!
