Welcome to the NGS 2012 Family History Conference! Hundreds of people checked in today and many participated in the pre-conference events:
Librarian’s Day workshop for librarians who work with family history patrons
Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky bus tour
BCG Education Fund “Editor’s
Ink, Writer’s Lead” workshop featuring Thomas W. Jones and Melinde Lutz Byrne (shown in photo, holding a very unusual artifact for a genealogy class: a generalized trilobite fossil). These two experts presented insights about everything from the broad view of genealogical writing as an art to the power of individual words – an inspiring combination for genealogists who want to polish their writing.
Tomorrow registration starts at 7 a.m. and the Opening Session is at 8 a.m. in the Junior Ballroom on the third floor. You’ll experience a new approach to ancestors’ lives through digital images from the world-renowned daguerreotype, the Cincinnati Panorama of 1848, integrated with original documents from the past. Two lucky winners attending the Opening Session will receive a free conference registration for the NGS 2013 Conference in Las Vegas, courtesy of NGS, and a seven-night stay at the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel at Temple Square, courtesy of the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel. You must be present to win!
After the Opening Session surprise guests will lead everyone down to the Exhibit Hall for its opening at 9:30 a.m. See pages 34-62 in the conference program for descriptions of the exhibitors.
To keep track of program and event changes, check the bulletin board in the NGS registration area. Some lunch tickets are already posted for sale, so check the board if you missed the deadline and would like to attend one of the conference luncheons.
