It is that time of year, Family Tree University and RootsTech are having their annual Conferences within the next few months. There are some positive changes to both conferences. Family Tree University has 15 Virtual Classes that you can view whenever you have time. Here is more details on their classes. February 22-24, early Bird sign up ends January 25th.

15 half-hour video classes in three tracks:
- genealogy technology track
- research strategies track
- ethnic research track
Unlimited viewing: Your all-access pass gets you into all 15 classes during the three-day conference—you can even download the videos to watch again later or view ones you missed!
Make your own schedule: Because the classes are pre-recorded, you don’t have to show up at a specific time to catch the ones you want—or choose between sessions you’re interested in.
Live chats and message board discussions: Enhance your conference experience by participating in conversations with FTU staff and instructors. Chat topic schedule to come!
Convenience: Unlike in-person genealogy conferences and seminars, you can take part in the Family Tree University Virtual Conference anywhere you can connect to the internet: at home, at the library, at the coffee shop with your laptop—choose the spot that works best for you. Best of all: No travel costs and parking hassles!
Value: Conference registration saves you 55% off the price of purchasing each video separately ($29.99). It’s like getting 8 classes for free!
