2012 Conference Facts and Moments

During the NGS Luncheon on Friday, NGS President Ann Hilke announced the total attendance of the 2012 Conference: 2,156 people!

The reception on Friday night celebrating the 100th anniversary of the NGS Quarterly marked a significant milestone in the history of the National Genealogical Society. Pick up a copy of the commemorative booklet in the NGS booth in the Exhibit Hall.

Representatives of the conference committee and local host societies working on the NGS 2013 Family History Conference in Las Vegas are here this week to observe details as they make plans for another fabulous conference next year. Information about the 2013 conference is available at the Las Vegas Local Host Societies booth, also in the Exhibit Hall.

  1. Deb,
    With all you had to do during the conference, I don't know how you managed to do all of these wonderful posts. Today is a catch up day for me and I enjoyed reading these. Great conference!
