Will we see you at RootsTech 2024? Join Virtual Meet-Ups

Question

Hi WikiTreers,

Will you be in Salt Lake City this Thursday, Friday, or Saturday (Feb 29 - Mar 2)?

A bunch of us will get together at the RootsTech conference. As always, since the start of the conference about 12 years ago, WikiTree will have a booth that's essentially an on-going meet-up spot for community members.

A half-dozen team members will be there (Eowyn Walker, Jamie Nelson, Ales Trtnik, Brian Casey, Chris Whitten, and me) and a number of leading WikiTreers (Mags Gaulden, Peter Roberts, Betsy Ko, Elaine Martzen, David Randall, Karen Lowe, James Evans, Judy Bramlage, Melanie McComb, Amy Johnson Crow, Taneya Koonce, and more). It's the one time of the year we see each other in person.

Please come introduce yourself and hang out at the booth. Be sure to wear orange. That's our thing. :-)  We'll be doing a group photo of any WikiTreers who want to join us at our booth at 10:55 MST on Friday, March 1.

For those who can't attend in person, we'll be having virtual meet-ups:

• Thursday, Feb 29 @ 4 pm EST/9 pm UTC - Live from the Booth YouTube - Notables Q&A
  • G2G Post ask your questions here
• Thursday, Feb 29 @ 6:30 pm EST/11:30 pm UTC - Live from the Booth YouTube -  DNA Q&A
  • G2G Post ask your questions here
• Friday, March 1 @ Noon EST/5 pm UTC - Live from the Booth YouTube - Special Tech Team Q&A. Bring your advanced questions about how and why WikiTree works the way it does.
