The International Black Genealogy
Summit Committee will be hosting the 2nd genealogy summit in Salt Lake City at the Radisson Hotel.
Many people who attended the first summit have been encouraging the committee to regroup and host another conference. Wait no more because plans are in progress to make this another successful summit. The committee is working diligently to getting the Call to Papers out within the next few weeks, finalizing the program and starting to release information as soon as it becomes available. Keep an eye on the website.
One of the first changes noted on the website is our brand--our IBGS Logo.
For early arrivals, there may be opportunity to have a city tour/library tour on Wednesday, October 17th. On Thursday, Oct 18th, participants also may have an opportunity to hear the Tabernacle Choir-more details to follow. There will be extended library hours for research. Not to forget our wonderful reception in conjunction with registration sign-in so that old and new acquaintances can rekindle friendships. Note: A participant at the 2009 IBGS made it her mission to talk to every table to find a relative--she actually was successful.
Beginner, intermediate, and advanced genealogists will convene for the 2nd IBGS as it continues its legacy to bring innovative speakers, something special and hands-on approach to genealogical and historical research. Docents at the world's largest repository of genealogical information will demonstrate research strategies, provide useful tips, and explore resources that will open doors to hidden treasures.
