New for 2017, you can participate as a virtual attendee in social media giveaways using the hashtag #NotAtRootsTech.

Watch for an official giveaway Tweet from the RootsTech account (@RootsTechConf) on Thursday, February 9. Then, to enter, simply tweet a photo of you watching the conference online with the hashtag #NotAtRootsTech. Winners will be selected at random during the day. If your photo is selected, prizes such as a RootsTech t-shirt, hat, or backpack will be mailed to you.

The streaming schedule only provides a smidgen of the vast amount of information provided at RootsTech, but it truly is the next best option to being there!
