Helpful Hints For a Great 2019 Jamboree Conference!


Helpful Hints and Tips

Jamboree Mobile App
Download for IOS, Android, and all web-enabled smartphones. A one-stop resource for schedules, speakers, exhibitors, many syllabus articles, maps. 

JamboFREE 

Friday morning sessions are free to the public as part of the SCGS mission to "...provide instruction in accepted and effective research techniques." See the schedule here.

Pink Sheets 

The most important tool you will use during the weekend. Legal-sized pink sheets give you the full conference schedule, information on parking, scanning, book signings, food and a map of the Marriott. Download here.

Syllabus

All paid registered attendees receive a digital syllabus that includes all three conferences. Printed copies are available for purchase while quantities last. Syllabus handouts are available on the Jamboree App when authorized by the speaker. Copyright laws apply.

Bag Inserts - Don’t throw away those Show Specials!

We’ve asked every Exhibitor to offer you a show special that beats anything you can get on the Internet.  Many have put their show specials on their conference bag flyers. So, don’t just chuck those papers in the nearest bin!  Take a moment to see who has the special you’ve been waiting for … maybe one you haven’t thought of yet!


Get Social!  
  • Social Media - Join the fun on Twitter using #SCGSJamboree2019, or #SCGS2019 @scgsgenealogy, or post to the Jamboree Facebook page. We love Jamboree selfies! 
  • Social Media Selfie Stand Perfect posting place to take photos, conduct an interview or live stream!
  • Network, talk to your neighbors, the speakers, exhibitors, and vendors and say "hi". Don't forget to bring along plenty of business cards to exchange with everyone.

Volunteer

Jamboree volunteers are a special lot. They have devoted time and effort to bring you the best conference possible. Stop by the Volunteer station to join in the fun! If it weren't for the volunteers, there wouldn't be a Jamboree! 

Research Database Tech Zone
Explore some of the most popular paid subscription websites for FREE! Stop by the Tech Research Zone in the Jamboree Research Hallway.

Seating Policy 

Seating is on a first come, first seated basis. Seats cannot be saved within 3 minutes of the start of a session. Once a session is full to capacity, no one will be allowed to enter (fire marshall rules). 

Be Kind 

Jamboree draws family historians and genealogists, volunteers, speakers, exhibitors from all over. Everyone is trying to have a great conference. Treating one another as we would like to be treated will ensure that we all have a great experience. 

The Jamboree Committee is here for you
If at any time you need assistance, you can always go to the Information desk in the Convention Center or to the registration kiosk for directions, help, or general information. 

Late Registration

Walk-Ins are welcome. You can register onsite through our Kiosk onsite. Workshops and meals will be available for purchase depending on availability.

Parking

Jamboree has negotiated a discounted parking fee of $15.00 in the Marriott lot. Your Jamboree or Genetic Genealogy badge is your ticket to the discount. Just show it at the kiosk on the way out.
