About RootsTech
RootsTech is a three-day global online and in-person family celebration conference hosted by FamilySearch International, which is sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other leading genealogy organizations. It is the world’s largest genealogy event, featuring keynote speakers, hundreds of classes and new technologies.
Last year’s conference drew millions of participants from over 200 countries and territories.
Latter-day Saints who participated were treated to messages from Church leaders at the first-ever Global Youth Activity and during the Temple and Family History Leadership Instruction; and President Jeffrey R. Holland, acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, joined fellow quorum member Elder Neil L. Andersen and his wife, Sister Kathy Andersen, for their Family Discovery Day keynote presentation.
In-person keynote speakers included New York City-based artist and designer Dana Tanamachi; and Olympic and Paralympic gold medalists Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall.
Prerecorded virtual keynote talks were provided by author Ndaba Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela; Latin American social media family Los Chicaneros; Filipina musician and pediatric nurse Ysabelle Cuevas; and Italian TV personality and entertainer Marco Lui.
