Schedule & General Information about the classes[edit | edit source]
This year's conference is again made possible by WSU College of Social & Behavorial Sciences Department of History and the Ogden FamilySearch Library.
We project that we will be able again offer over 60 classes which will be able to be taught to over 1,000 participants. Because WSU offers their facilities at no charge, there will be no charge for the classes or for parking on campus.
At this point we feel the schedule will be the same as in 2014, which is:
7;30 the doors will open for participants to arrive and pick up their information packets (general information about the conference, the class schedule, and vendor information).
8:30-9:30 will be our keynote speakers
10:00 to 4:00pm will be five different class sessions in roughtly 1-hour class times
