There is also a one-day "Family History and DNA: Genetic Genealogy in 2014" conference at the same venue on Thursday, 5 June 2014. The registration fee for this event is additional to the three-day Genealogy Jamboree event:
Some updated information about these two events:

I will be there, will you? I look forward to seeing almost 100 genealogy bloggers, and look forward to the "discussion" sessions in the meeting area between the hotel lobby and the restaurant near the elevators. The exhibit hall is always a draw for me - I love to visit the exhibitors and find new products and talk about the industry. I also look forward to the speaker sessions where I hope to learn more about genealogical research - I need to define my schedule on the app soon.
Our plans are to take the train from San Diego to Burbank on Thursday, 5 June, but I'm not attending the DNA conference. We are staying at the Marriott Hotel, and Linda will probably be in the swimming pool area most of the days we are there, weather permitting. We will return to San Diego on the train on Sunday afternoon.

Can't wait 'til Jamboree. I'll see you there! Count me in as one of those hundred bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI just bought my tickets today. Very excited to see some great speakers there, especially from east of the Rockies!
ReplyDeleteHi Randy! Thanks for the support for Jamboree. Yes, the sessions are listed on the Jamboree website. Look under "Schedule" and click on the individual day. You'll find the sessions grouped together by time block, so you can begin to agonize over the conflicting sessions. See you there!
ReplyDeleteThe Jamboree App is also up and running to set up your schedule. Tracks based on experience or a-la-carte. Some of the class handouts are also posted.
ReplyDeleteIs it obvious I'm getting excited?
