RootsTech 2020 SLC Announces Virtual Pass Sessions

The RootsTech Blog just posted "Access RootsTech Sessions When and Where You Want" about the Virtual Pass to 30 videoed RootsTech 2020 SLC sessions.  

These sessions will not be livestreamed, but will be videoed and will be available to watch two to three weeks after the conference for subscribers to the Virtual Pass.  

The Virtual Pass costs $129 (non-conference goers) or $79 (for conference goers).  Access is available to Virtual Pass holders for one year.  The last day to purchase the Virtual Pass is 1 September 2020.

You can see much more information about the Virtual Pass on the blog post.

My first thought was, they won't be live-streaming anymore. Do you know if that is not true?

Lisa,

\My understanding is that they will livestream some classes without a fee, and these will be available for the year or more).

Thery will be different classes from these virtual pass classes.

They did this last year also - one set livestreamed, a second set with a pay requirement. They have not announced the set of livestream classes yet.

I should have clarified that in this blog post.
