RootsTech is a global family history event, where people of all ages learn to discover, share, and celebrate their family connections across generations through technology. At RootsTech, there is something for everyone, no matter your experience in family history or your skill level in technology.

There is no charge for attendance.

Each hour of the day you will have the choice of 8 sessions or using the Family History Center. Most but not all sessions are videos downloaded from RootsTech Conference.

''“Spiritual connections. . . are formed when a young woman helps her grandmother enter family information into a computer or when a young man sees the name of his great-grandfather on a census record. When our hearts turn to our ancestors, something changes inside us. We feel part of something greater than ourselves.”  ''                                   Russell M. Nelson
