Other Classes!
Over 100 other classes will be presented by industry leaders and experts from the local and national genealogical community. Products and services from genealogy companies will also be showcased in an exhibit hall where you can meet with specialists for free personal consultations on research questions or problems.
If you wish to attend the other classes, pre-registration is just $68.00 through August 24. After August 24, you may register at the door. The cost at the door will be $78.00 for both days and $48.00 per day. Individuals who want to attend only one or two classes and visit the Exhibit Hall can register for single classes at $12.00 each.

For those of us out of state and unable to attend, is there some opportunity in the future to have streaming of your lectures, or other computer access?
Yes, we are looking into this. In addition, we have posted a list of places we will be teaching around the country at:

Any chance you will have the new RootsMagic 4.0 book available at the Salt Lake Expo?
I see that there are a number of opportunities to learn about RootsMagic, but done west of the Mississippi. Are you going to have some sessions on the East Coast?
Mark, we are hoping to have the books for the Salt Lake Expo.
Several of the upcoming conferences are east of the Mississippi (Little Rock, Ft Wayne, Toledo, Knoxville). We don’t currently have any scheduled for the east coast, but we could add additional conferences down the road. We were in North Carolina earlier this year (May).
Am obtaining a better understanding of the research and material.
