I registered for the SCGS Genealogy Jamboree (June 5-7, 2015) at the Burbank Airport Marriott Hotel the other day, and reserved our hotel room too. So now I can wear the I Am So There! badge on my blog:
The Jamboree home page is at http://www.genealogyjamboree.com/.
You can register online at http://www.scgsgenealogy.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=60. Choose either the Members link or the Non-Members link on the list on the left margin.
Early-bird registration (until April 30) is $125 for SCGS Members and $145 for Non-Members for the three-day Jamboree (Friday, 5 June to Sunday, 7 June). You can add the June 4th DNA Day Plus Add-on to Jamboree for $125 (SCGS Members) or $135 (SCGS Non-Members). You can add Jamboree meals also using the Jamboree Meals link. There are a number of additional workshops available also.
A printed syllabus can be added for $25. The digital syllabus will be provided to registrants as part of the registration fees.
You can see the current Jamboree schedule at http://genealogyjamboree.com/2015/schedule.html. There are 122 presentations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In most time slots, there are 8 or 9 different offerings. On Friday morning, there are two fee-based workshops, and several free (for anyone) classes, including a Beginning Genealogy class, and the Genealogy World Roundtables.
The Jamboree publicity mentions livestreaming sessions, but I haven't seen the list yet for those who cannot attend in person.
I don't see a "Blogger Summit" on the list of classes - SCGS started this back in 2008. Too bad. Hopefully, there will be a Blogger photo arranged on one of the days at an appointed time.
Then there is the Exhibit Hall, with many exhibitors (not identified yet) - see http://genealogyjamboree.com/2015/exhibitors.html.
Linda and I will arrive on the Amtrak train from San Diego after noon on Thursday, and we look forward to seeing our friends and colleagues over the three days. I will probably be blogging in the area between the hotel lobby and the elevators where most geneabloggers (and friends) congregate because the wifi is free there.
More to come! I Am So There - and really looking forward to this Genealogy Jamboree.
