March 2, 2026
It’s almost here, the gathering genealogists eagerly anticipate: the annual RootsTech conference, the biggest genealogical event of the year, happening in Salt Lake City, Utah, from this Thursday, March 5th, through Saturday, March 7th.
RootsTech will be held at the Salt Palace (formal name: Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center) in downtown Salt Lake City.
GenealogyBank of course will be there, staffing booth #1209.
Whether you’re attending RootsTech in person or online, come pay us a visit. We’re ready to have fun – and also do some genealogy work with you, answering questions and providing search tips. Ask us how we can help you find your ancestor!
We will have author signings all three days of the conference, show many of our helpful YouTube tutorial videos in-booth, and offer a designated table for learning and providing demos of our genealogy site. Plus, we will have fun activities for the kids on Saturday!
“As we enter into RootsTech 2026, I am looking forward to once again coming together with family researchers from all over the world through our event sponsorship. Your stories inspire us and ignite our passion to bring you a quality product full of exclusive content, great pricing, and incredible, personalized service. We host the largest obituary collection available online, and we’re always happy to share our best search practices to help make sure you find what you’re looking for. Look for us in our newspaper outfits at booth 1209. We can’t wait to say hello!”
