Keeping Up With Conferences

by Claire V. Brisson-Banks

Conference Keeper is one way to keep up with all the conferences that are going on all over the United States and elsewhere.

This group covers conferences, events, calls-for-papers, contests, grants & scholarships, travel, tours & cruises. By following this site and their Facebook page, one can pick and choose the best for their research and/or genealogical needs.

As you work through the list of available conferences, there should be something for everyone regardless of what level of expertise you are at!

Don’t miss out on an opportunity to learn something new from a new conference, a new instructor in a great location or be pleasantly surprised at an upcoming conference you were not aware was happening in a location close to where you live!

Learning new skills, sharing and getting together with other genealogical/family history colleagues is always a fun and great experience.

Be sure to like their Facebook page also at https://www.facebook.com/ConferenceKeeper/, you’ll always be aware of golden educational opportunities!

 

 

ICAPGen Luncheon Caps a Week of Learning

816F811C-D5D8-4814-A716-675D89BCC80D
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.
