Jamboree 2018 Social Media Policy

Jamboree Loves Social Media!

The Genealogy Jamboree invites all bloggers, podcasters and social media addicts to post, tweet, record, interview and broadcast from our conferences. We love your creativity and want to be part of your fun!

For your convenience...

If you’re seeking calm and quiet, the Board Room, located in the Hi-Tech hallway, is available unless already occupied. The Marriott also has a quiet public area in the West lobby where the coffee shop/bar is located.

Please take a moment to review Conference our policies

It’s pretty simple - be courteous to those around you, don’t record in the classrooms, respect copyright and mention you’re recording from Genealogy Jamboree 2018. First and foremost, the conferences are a venue for learning. Please don’t interrupt or interfere with the educational experiences around you.

Thank you for supporting the SCGS and our conferences. We love social media and you can quote us on that.
