Even if you don't attend any classes at #RootsTech 2016, it is worth your time and effort to visit the Exhibit Hall. Here are some of the interesting and challenging events and activities going on during the entire event.
Family Discovery Zone—Sponsored by FamilySearch
The family discovery zone will be a fun, engaging, and interactive experience and will feature new and exciting technologies to help you discover and connect your family and stories. Stop by and experience the fun side of family history with these activities:
Photo Scanning Area: Bring your family photos! Make digital copies for free that you can preserve, share, and even upload directly to your FamilySearch family tree.
Recording Booth: Record Your Story! Your private recording session includes 10 minutes of recording time in a sound booth, and get a free copy of it on a flash drive.
Record a Call with Someone Who Inspires You: Simply call a parent, grandparent, or someone who inspires you, and find out more about his or her life. Our app will record the conversation and give you a personal copy as well.
FAMILYSEARCH SCANNING BOOTH
Get your family book scanned for free. We’ll make a digital copy, and you'll keep the original and a searchable PDF copy for you. You can also donate personal works, family journals, and books that are in the public domain.

James, what is the latest on charging for the Expo Hall for those who do not register for RootsTerch?
ReplyDeleteI looked specifically for that on the website and it says that the Exhibit Hall is free to those who register either for RootsTech or the Family Discovery Day. I don't see anything that says what happens if you just walk in and want to see the Exhibits. Good question.
