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!

Jamboree Registrations to Remain Open an Extra Week!

What happens when your new registration system works so well?

You keep registration open an

extra week!

All conferences are challenged with the need to close registration far ahead of the actual event. This is due to the time required to produce attendee registration materials. This year, thanks to the generous donations of SCGS members and supporters, we launched new internal systems. These systems have significantly improved the process across all levels of conference planning, including registration. The system has been so successful, we can leave registration open for credit card purchases^* through Sunday, May 20, 2018 at 11:59pm.

Online Registration* for the 49^th Annual Genealogy Jamboree,

6^th Annual Genetic Genealogy, and Family History Writers conferences

will remain open

through

midnight Sunday, May 20^th

Thank you to our wonderful SCGS members, fantastic Jamboree supporters and dedicated volunteers for answering the call to bring our Society and conference systems, website and registration up to new standards.

Keep watching! There’s more to come …

^*Registrations paid by check will close at the previously published date of May 12, 11:59 pm. All payments by check must be postmarked no later than May 12. Refunds close May 12, 11:59 PM. All purchases made after May 12, 11:59 pm are non-refundable.
