RootsTech Connect 2021 will be a Virtual Event

FamilySearch has announced that the RootsTech 2021 conference previously planned for February 3-6, 2021, in Salt Lake City, Utah, will now be held on February 25-27, 2021, as a free, virtual event online.

RootsTech Connect 2021 will enable attendees to participate from around the world and will feature inspiring keynote speakers, dozens of classes in multiple languages, and a virtual marketplace. You can reserve your place today at RootsTech.org.

“The pandemic is giving us the opportunity to bring RootsTech to a broader audience worldwide,” said Steve Rockwood, FamilySearch International CEO. “A virtual event also allows us to expand our planning to truly make this a global celebration of family and connection.”

RootsTech Connect 2021 will be global in scope while offering many experiences that attendees have come to know and love from RootsTech events – including inspirational keynote speakers, dozens of classes to choose from, and an expo hall. Throughout the three-day online event, attendees will have the ability to interact with presenters, exhibitors, and other attendees through live chat and question and answer sessions.

“Classes will be taught in many languages and presenters will teach from a number of international locations,” said Rockwood. “We will celebrate cultures and traditions from around the world, with activities that the audience can participate in from home – such as homeland cooking demonstrations, storytelling, and music performances.”

Those who register for RootsTech Connect 2021 will be able to access a combination of both livestream and on-demand content to accommodate differences in time zone for participants. In addition, sessions will be available to view on-demand after the event concludes.

FamilySearch hopes that upcoming RootsTech events will be able to happen in-person again. That said, they anticipate that RootsTech Connect virtual events will become a more regular addition to RootsTech conferences.
