Once you download the app, be sure to create your profile (click on the little gear on the left side of the dashboard and click on MyProfile) and publish it so your friends know that you'll be at Jamboree. Your photo would be really nice, but you can enter as little or as much personal information as you want. While you're at it, set up your multi-device sync if you will be using more than one of those iGadgets throughout the weekend.

Jamboree 2016: What's in YOUR Luggage?

We are coming down to the wire on Genetic Genealogy 2016 and Jamboree, and the Jamboree Team is getting excited to greet all of you!

Many attendees are traveling from a quite a distance and many local Southern California residents are taking advantage of the opportunity to get away and have a mini vacation during the course of the conference.

We want to make sure everyone has the best time possible, so we have some tips to help you pack.

June is tradionally associated with summer and fun...and in Burbank, we plan to have an abundance of both! 

A word of caution though - mornings and evenings can be cool. Be prepared. Conference room temperatures can vary, so prepare to layer to adjust accordingly.

Things to Bring to Jamboree:

• Comfortable clothes. Sessions and workshops are not formal, so please bring or wear something that you feel good in, and can move about in. Think business casual. This includes comfortable shoes and a light jacket, sweater or wrap in case the rooms are cool. Don't forget your favorite tee shirt, hat, kilt, tartan, or whatever you've chosen for the "Celebrate Your Hometown Pride" Contest on Sunday. 

• Address labels and business cards. Bring pre-printed labels to make filling out contest forms in the Exhibit Hall and elsewhere a snap. Business cards for networking come in handy - especially if you put surnames on them (hint: cousin bait!).

• Hi-Tech Gear. Bring your smartphone, tablet, laptop, digital camera, and whatever else you rely on, as well as any chargers you need. Make sure you've downloaded the App (from the App store or from Google Play), planned your schedule (a primary and a backup session for each hour just in case), and plotted out your tour of the Exhibit Hall and special activities. 

• Low-Tech Alternatives. We know you live in the digital age, but there may come a time when your phone or tablet is low on power, and the electrical sockets are nowhere in sight. You don't want to miss out on anything - so be prepared. Bring a pen and a notebook. We promise writing will not hurt you. If you need help, the Jamboree team will be on hand to calm your nerves

• Personal Items. As with any trip, don't forget your medications or anything you need on a daily basis - like extra glasses, your debit/credit cards and money. We know you may love your favorite fragrance, so we ask that, out of consideration to the others in the conference, you leave your perfume at home so you don't trigger allergy sneezes from the people around you. And please, leave your valuables at home. There's no place to check them in.

• Genealogy. This is, after all, a genealogy conference. You might run into a cousin or two - be ready with those family group sheets or pedigree charts. Also, take a look at the exhibitors and the research assistance opportunities...you might want to bring your brick wall and any information you think will help others help you.

So....what will you bring?  Anything fun and exciting?  Let us know!  

And if you do forget something - there's always the Marriott gift shop and plenty of shopping nearby. 

Jamboree 2016: Diamond Sponsor Spotlight - Ancestry

Ancestry is the world's largest online resource for family history and helped pioneer the market for online family history research, making it easy, affordable and accessible. Ancestry has an extensive collection of 70 million family trees and 16 billion records they have digitized, indexed, and put online over the past 20 years.  These historical records make Ancestry a great place to start and expand your family history research.    

This year, Ancestry is the 2016 Jamboree Diamond Sponsor. We are so very grateful for their continued support of SCGS and the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree. As friends of Jamboree, they have consistently come forward to help us provide high-quality education to genealogists and family historians around the world.

The year, Ancestry is sponsoring two important elements of Jamboree. 

Today, we are announcing that live-streamed sessions from Jamboree will be provided FREE, thanks to Ancestry.com. Ancestry is the sole sponsor of the Jamboree live streaming, which enables us to bring exceptional speakers and presentations to those who can't make it to Burbank to join us in person. 

In addition to the live streaming, Ancestry is also sponsoring the Jamboree conference bags and will also provide a number of valuable door prizes at Jamboree, including several one-year World Explorer Annual Memberships, AncestryDNA testing kits, a one-year subscription to Newspapers.com, a one-year subscription to Fold3, and a one-year subscription to the exciting new AncestryAcademy.

Be sure to stop by the Ancestry booth and personally the Ancestry team for their contribution to education and continued support of Jamboree.


They're real diamonds to us!
