I am Speaking at NGS 2018 in Grand Rapids, Michigan

The National Genealogical Society (NGS) released the program and schedule yesterday for its 2018 Conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan this coming May. So I can now let the cat out of the bag. I am speaking at NGS for the first time!

The Conference

The NGS Family History Conference, 2–5 May 2018 is your opportunity to choose from more than 175 lectures presented by many nationally recognized speakers, explore an exhibit hall filled with more than 80 exhibitors, and network with over 2,000 genealogists. Every NGS conference has a different theme with a new program top to bottom—so there is always much new to learn and discover. (Source: NGS)

The Conference Registration Brochure (PDF) is available now. It is packed with a schedule and description of all sessions, pre-conference activities, luncheons, etc., as well as speaker biographies.
