The FamilySearch blog has the post Navigating the RootsTech 2022 Website today.
* The Main Stage starts at 10 a.m. Mountain time (9 a.m. Pacific time, 11 a.m. Central time, 12 noon Eastern time) on Thursday, 3 March 2022. The opening presentation will be by Steve Rockwood, the CEO of FamilySearch International. Other Keynote speakers will make their presentations throughout the three days of the conference. The Calendar lists the times and speakers for each day - Thursday 3 March , Friday 4 March, and Saturday 5 March.
* There are 900 2022 sessions with presentations about genealogy and family history, and you can watch them once the Conference opens. These are listed on the Calendar under Sessions, with times listed in the Thursday, Friday or Saturday tabs. You can add sessions to your Playlist to watch them. After the listed times, you should be able to watch them at your leisure. The 1500 sessions from 2021 are still available to watch at your leisure.
