RootsTech Connect 2022 is coming soon

 It is now less than six weeks until RootsTech Connect 2022 starts (yikes! I’d better get on and watch more of the 2021 talks, which are still available online).

Last year’s conference was the first fully online conference, and it was excellent, attracting 1.5 million viewers worldwide. But with more experience of this new online world, this year’s conference promises to be even better!

Three of the keynote speakers have already been announced, and new speakers from around the world will be announced each week. 

Some of the memorable keynotes from the past were LeVar Burton, Donny Osmond, Saroo Brierley and Jake Shimabukuro, Cece Moore and Dan Snow. These links will take you to my comments about their talks.

So what does this year have in store?
