Conferences and lectures

I've been busy reviewing syllabus materials and submitting contracts today for speaking at conferences. Managed to get proposals off to 7 other conferences this week too (pfhew--wiping my brow). I'm giving three lectures tomorrow in Kemmerer Wyoming. Here is what is coming up as far as my speaking engagements go:
  • May 2nd "Serendipity and other Miracles: Why you need family history." "Where to Start when you inherit Genealogy" and "Making New FamilySearch easier with Certified Genealogy Software" Kemmerer Wyoming Regional Family History Conference
  • May 9th Generation Maps at Logan Family History Expo (not actually speaking, Pfhew--wiping brow again).
  • June 12th and 13th "Serendipity and other Miracles: Why you need family history." and "Making New FamilySearch easier with Certified Genealogy Software" Colorado Family History Expo
  • June 26th-28th. "Where to Start when you inherit Genealogy" and "Using Genealogy Charts to further your research." Southern California Genealogy Society.
  • July 17th-18th "Serendipity and other Miracles: Why you need family history." and "Making New FamilySearch easier with Certified Genealogy Software" Wyoming Family History Expo
  • July 28th-31st "Basic Research Practices in the age of New FamilySearch" and "Making New FamilySearch easier with Certified Genealogy Software" BYU conference on Family History and Genealogy
  • August 28th-29 "Serendipity and other Miracles: Why you need family history" and "Digitally Enhancing your photos" Salt Lake Family History Expo
  • And a few other small/private speaking engagements (wiping my brow with a dramatic flourish)

Sorry for the random capitalization and punctuation. I'm edited out today.

To register for these great conferences, check my previous blog post on the conferences Generation Maps is going to.

After Dick Eastman's review of NERGC's conference, we are thinking about striking out for Springfield Mass. in 2011. Congratulations to them on such success this year. I have agreed in the past with Dick's opinions on how to hold a good conference. And it sounds like this one (though a good distance for us) would be one to try. We'll look forward to that. Let us know if you are planning to be there too.
