Three Months Until RootsTech 2023

Time sure flies. We are less than three months out from RootsTech 2023. 

At least for me, I designate time in pre-Covid, Covid, and post-Covid time frames. When talking about events that happened before 2019, I say it was pre-Covid. Remember when we last met together in person at RootsTech on March 2019? We were just starting to be concerned about Covid and precautions were just beginning to be put in place. RootsTech provided masks and hand sanitizer outside each classroom. Then, during Covid we had two years of virtual RootsTech conferences. That gave us the opportunity to include more people from around the world as we attended the virtual conference. Now, we will have the opportunity to view RootsTech 2023 in person or virtually. There will be 350+ classes over the hybrid format!

RootsTech has already started to publish their Road To RootsTech videos. If you are new to RootsTech, or an old pro, you will find some interesting tips in these videos.
