Most Genealogy conferences don't allow non-paying customers to view conference handouts, but RootsTech does. This is a HUGE freebie if you're #NotAtRootsTech and a great way to prep for RootsTech if you're attending in person. You can't hit multiple classes the same hour but you may be able to glean some tips from a class you missed by looking at the handout.
Background info: RootsTech is the largest genealogy conference in the world and this year it will have two conferences, RootsTech SLC from February 27-March 2, 2019 and RootsTech London from October 24-26, 2019.

On your Computer - …You can also participate live, using social media sites (in the past organizers have used Twitter) to respond to questions or follow conversations by tweeting or using the hashtag #RootsTech or #NotAtRootsTech. You can also follow discussions about RootsTech on social media sites by searching for the hashtag #RootsTech or #NotAtRootsTech.
