Plan Ahead

Before you leave home, there are a few things you can do to prepare that will help make your conference experience more enjoyable.

Make Your Lecture Schedule
Decide which lectures you would like to attend. The daily schedule is available online at http://conference.ngsgenealogy.org/agenda/ or in the NGS Conference App. The schedule includes information on whether the session is being taped or not, room location, etc.

Most lectures will be recorded. Attendees may assume that a lecture will be recorded unless it is marked with the "notes" symbol. The “notes” symbol accompanies only sessions that will not be recorded. Please see the daily schedule grid inside the program. JAMB will tape and sell lecture CDs and MP3s during the conference.

Download Syllabus
To view and download syllabus pages for those lectures from the NGS website, go to the link in the message sent to your e-mail. Many speakers will refer to these pages in their lectures.
Note: Due to the large size of the file, please follow the instructions on the page to download and view the file successfully.

You will also receive a copy of the syllabus on a flash drive with your conference packet and the syllabus will be connected to individual sessions in the Conference App.

Print Syllabus Pages
Print pages of those lectures you plan to attend. You may also print pages from the syllabus at the St. Charles Convention Center Business Center or your hotel business center, but that could get expensive if you plan to print more than a few.
