I received this press release via email recently:

==========================================

2017 International Germanic Genealogy Conference—July 28-29, 2017

Hosted in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Dear friend in genealogy—
An exciting international genealogy conference that offers researchers new dimensions in German-American cooperation and information-sharing is scheduled for July 28-29, 2017, in Minneapolis, Minn.

Your society is part of the German-American Genealogical Partnership organizing this international conference, and you as a member are invited to participate.

This is a unique conference, organized through an international Partnership of societies across the United States and Europe. The 2017 conference “CONNECTIONS: International. Cultural. Personal” is hosted by the Minnesota-based Germanic Genealogy Society. It is a great opportunity for real progress in your genealogical research:

*  Make personal connections with people from other organizations both in the United States and in Germany.

*  Learn new insights directly from Germanic genealogy experts worldwide. Choose from more than 30 presentations over two full days.

*  Become part of the conference surname and locality database to match up with others attending, including visitors from Germany and other countries worldwide.

*  Use study rooms equipped with computers and experts there to help you, including help with German script, language, and online research.

*  Take advantage of opportunities for impromptu gatherings by region or special interest.

*  Settle down in casual seating for 1-on-1 discussions with others you’ve connected with.

*  Explore the large field of major genealogy vendors.

And much more.

We hope you can join us in the German-American Genealogical Partnership’s first-ever international conference. It’s a wonderful and unique opportunity.
