We are especially excited about the special ICAPGenSM track Tuesday and Wednesday, where Accredited Genealogist® professionals will be on hand presenting classes on all phases of the accreditation process.

We will wind up the  week with our second annual ICAPGen networking luncheon on Friday, from noon to 1:30, where those who are interested in the accreditation process can talk and eat with AG® professionals to learn more about the application and testing process and ask questions. Be sure to add the luncheon to your registration.

This event provides an opportunity for those interested in earning the Accredited Genealogist® credential to talk and eat with AG®professionals and get more insight as to the application and testing process, as well as learn more of the practical benefits of credentialing.

We hope to have many Accredited Genealogist professionals in attendance to help interested candidates learn more about becoming part of our group. This was a popular event last year, and we encourage early registration to ensure your seat at our table.
