Right away I have a major problem - I would love to sit in on five or six of these talks.  It may come down to "if they have an excellent syllabus, then I'll go somewhere else."  Fortunately, I've seen the excellent Steve Morse presentation!

My preferred choices for this session include:

*  Chris Whitten on Using WikiTree (I use WikiTree...)
*  Sandra Crowley on Going Mobile (I just got an iPhone...)
*  Ryan Heaton on GEDCOM (a developer talk, will I understand it?)
*  Lisa Louise Cooke on Creating Family Stories (I love Google Earth)
*  Josh Taylor on Trusting the Cloud (I need to learn more here...)

By the way, the registration fee for RootsTech 2012 is $149 through Friday, 13 January.  It goes up to $189 after that.

What session would you like to attend?

Disclosure:  I am an Official Blogger for RootsTech 2012, and have had my registration fee paid for by the organization.  I look forward to attending this conference!
