If I were to present at RootsTech 2026, either in person or virtually, what topics would interest you the most? Is there something DNA-related you’d like to learn more about, or have been struggling with?
I have some thoughts, but would like your input.
RootsTech has been and remains important to me. It’s a wonderful way to reach many people, plus see my colleagues, cousins, and family of heart. I love meeting and interacting with new people, too. All of that said, travel is becoming more challenging and increasingly expensive, making it difficult to plan for 8 or 9 months in advance.
So, I’m trying to make a submission decision, and since the sessions are for you, I’m asking you what you’d like to see.
Please list your DNA-focused suggestions in the comments in order of priority for you.
Thanks everyone!
