RootsTech will be back in person at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, March 2nd through March 4th, 2023. The theme this year is Uniting. I have one complimentary $98 value IN-PERSON RootsTech 2023 3-day pass to give away this month! (If you are attending online, registration is totally free. This pass is for those who would like to attend in person in Salt Lake City).
The 3-day pass includes the following:
– Access to all on-site classes
– Keynote Addresses (including American Idol winner Jordin Sparks on Thursday, March 2nd, 11 am) and General Sessions
– Expo Hall (Side note, the on-site Expo Hall will be free this year to everyone, so if you have friends who live locally who don’t end up registering for RootsTech in-person, invite them to meet you at the Expo Hall anytime. Or just let them know they can go there on their own. There are always lots of fun things to see and do in the Expo Hall!)
To enter, write a comment here on this blog post (and/or on each of my social media posts about my pass giveaway to increase your chances of winning) with the name of the country where one of your ancestors was born (Example of an entry: “Great-grandmother: Sweden” or you can just list the country). Let’s see how many countries around the world we can put on our map!

Thanks to everyone who entered here, on Instagram, Facebook and/or Twitter for the complimentary in-person RootsTech pass. I did Spin the Wheel online and the spinner landed on Alexandria Jamilowski! I’ll be sending you a message with details about your prize. If you can message me on Instagram with your email address that will be the best way to get your pass to you. Remember if you cannot attend yourself, you may gift the pass to someone else, but I need to know the name of the person by tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 31, please. For the rest of you, stay tuned as RootsTech might have another giveaway in February.
