...if you are a Genie.
I am just back from Rootstech 2015 and I feel vindicated. Because I have constantly spruiked about what an amazing event Rootstech is I feel largely responsible for a couple of my genimates taking the decision to attend for the first time this year. You have no idea what a relief it was to hear that they enjoyed the experience.
As an Official Rootstech Ambassador I had the opportunity to use a video crew and studio during the conference to record interviews with people of my choosing. On the third day of the conference I spoke with three first-timers at Rootstech to gauge their reactions to the event.
Here is what Tas from Australia, Hilary from Wales and Pauleen from Australia had to say.

Jill - great interviews. Sorry I did not get to meet up with Taz (could you also confirm what year 2 and year 6 are for us Americans). Wonderful to have finally met the rest of Commonwealth Contingent.
Thanks Jill for the interview opportunity and to be part of the first timers at RootsTech -it lived up to expectations. How lucky is Tas to have a lifetime to pursue this hobby. Great to meet Hilary along the way too. Tessa Our kids start at 5, usually in Prep/Transition so grade 2 is about 7yo...my granddaughter is in Gr 2 this year. So Gr 6 is about 11 yo.
Great interview Jill!
Enjoyed the interviews, Jill. Great meeting you in person as well!
Year 2 is the third year of formal schooling here in NSW it equates with the 2nd grade in the US. Year 6 ( 6th Grade in the US) is the final year of primary schooling that is followed by 6 years of high school (Years 7-12). This varies from state to state but is the situation for Tas's state.
Presently in our HSIE (Social Studies) curriculum children study family history in Years 1 and 6. I went to the grandsons' school to talk to the Year 1 boys lst year and expect another invitation this year.
