Participants at the 2016 BYU Family History and Genealogy Confererence, co-sponsored by ICAPGen (SM), had a chance to learn from many of our AG® professionals, who presented classes on topics ranging from international research and advanced methodology to the latest developments in technology. Those interested in credentialing also had the opportunity to attend one or more of the classes on the “ICAPGen track” that were offered.
Thank you to everyone who shared your expertise and experience with us. With four days of classes on over 100 topics it was an outstanding week of education for us all!
Friday ICAPGen hosted a networking luncheon, giving prospective AG professionals an opportunity to visit with credentialed individuals and have their questions about the application process answered. The luncheon was well-attended and we look forward to making this an annual affair.
