Don't miss out on the opportunity to attend great lectures by top-notch
speakers on topics of interest to genealogists. We are making a
concentrated effort to attract fresh lectures on subjects that have not
been previously addressed. Programs at the hotel conference center
by the staff of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum,
National Archives, and Library of Congress. Evening program and a
great Vendor Showcase.

There will be a variety of workshops, include a special track of workshops
and classes for beginners, as well as sessions for intermediate and
advanced researchers. Workshops will be held in one of our two computer
classrooms - PC or Mac.

The Resource Room will abound with books, maps and 40 computers (PC
and Mac) for research. We will have links on the computers to two dozen
databases that are normally fee-based, but for the conference, you will
be able to use them for free.

We anticipate record-setting attendance, and that means more potential
"cousins" and lots of networking.
