Helpful Hints for A Great Conference Experience


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 
Thursday sessions are free to the public as part of the SCGS mission to "...provide instruction in accepted and effective research techniques." 

Pink and Blue Sheets 
The most important tool you will use during the weekend. Legal-sized pink (Jamboree) or blue (Genetic Genealogy and Family History) sheets give you the full conference schedule, information on parking, scanning, book signings, food and a map of the Marriott.

Syllabus
All paid registered attendees receive a free 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 #Jamboree2018, or #SCGS2018 @scgsgenealogy, or post to the Jamboree Facebook page. We love Jamboree selfies! 
  • Social Media Lounge in the Exhibit Hall Perfect posting place! Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog post for important details!
  • 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 Friday, June 1st, between 9am - 6pm and Saturday, June 2nd between 9am - 4:30 pm and take a test drive.

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

See you at Jamboree!

          Jamboree 2016 - Parking Information

          Parking at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport


          Enter the Marriott parking lot from Thornton Avenue.  

          There is a Bank of America lot located just to the north of the Marriott that is closed to our use on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, however, those spots are open.

          We have negotiated a discounted rate of $14 per day for parking in the Marriott lot for the duration of the conference. Valet parking is available at $26 per day.

          There is a 10-minute drop-off time, so if a driver is dropping off someone at the Marriott and then leaving, they will not need to pay for parking within the first 10 minutes.

          Additionally, overnight guests of the Marriott enjoy in-and-out privileges, and parking charges can be added to your hotel bill for your convenience. The Marriott registration desk will code your room keycard to use to go in and out of the parking lot.

          Daily parkers not staying overnight do not have in-and-out privileges. Commuters can pay the attendant for parking at the kiosk inside the convention center. Attendant hours will be posted at Jamboree.

          Handicapped parking is available north of the Convention Center.
          In the event the Marriott lot becomes full, parking will be available in Airport Economy Lot C directly across from the Marriott lot. The Jamboree rate for parking at Lot C is $13.00 per day. 

          If both the Marriott and Lot C fill up, Airport Parking Lot A on the west side of Hollywood Way 1/5 mile north of Thornton Avenue will also be available for $10 per day. Finally, Lot D (Star Park) directly across Hollywood Way from the Marriott will be available for public use. The price for parking at Lot D can go up to $23 for the day.

          For those taking the train - the Amtrak station is within walking distance to the Marriott, and is located on Empire Street south of the Airport. The Marriott does have a shuttle that is available, but it does not make regular runs. You will need to call Guest Services – 818 843-6000 extension 6615 to arrange for a pick up.

          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.

As friends of Jamboree, they have consistently come forward to help us provide high-quality education to genealogists and family historians around the world.
