Rather than attend the Innovator Summit on Wednesday, I plan to go to the Family History Library and do some research in microfilms that are not yet digitized. I may go to the new Family Discovery Center on the first floor of the FHL, and may attend a class or two when the RootsTech part of the conference starts on Wednesday afternoon. Or I may go take a nap.
I usually don't go to classes at RootsTech. I prefer to work in the Media Center, greet old friends and make new ones, visit exhibitors in the Expo Hall, and watch short presentations in exhibits or the Demo Stage.
I expect to blog a bit from the Media Center and the hotel, and will probably post a number of photographs from the Expo Hall and the special events. However, blogging may be light on some days because of time pressures and priorities. There will be a RootsTech 2017 blog compendium and I will try to update it several times a day.
The "regular" blog posts like Wordless Wednesday, Treasure Chest Thursday, 52 Ancestors, Surname Saturday and Saturday Night Genealogy Fun will be on a one week hiatus due to the conference activities and being away from home.
Disclosure: As a RootsTech Ambassador, I receive a free conference admission.
