Announcing the winner - VGA Virtual Conference free registration

.  

The Virtual Genealogical Association is a global organisation for the 21st century that fulfils the needs of family historians:

• whose circumstances make it difficult to attend local genealogical society meetings
• who prefer online presentations, special interest groups (SIGs), conferences, and socializing
• with an interest in connecting, networking, and mentoring with global genealogists.

The Association's virtual conference will be held from November 1-3, 2019! 

As the Convenor of the New South Wales Chapter of of the Association I had a FREE Registration Code for the conference to share with one of my genimates.

I randomly chose a winner from those folk who had entered my competition and was pleased to see that a fellow Australian, Michelle Nichols was the winner. Congratulations to Michelle; when I asked her if she would accept the prize she said "Yes please!!!! Very pleased to hear this news."

If you still wish to be a winner then you can register for this event. See below

Speakers include Judy G Russell and Blaine Bettinger from the US,  Fiona Brooker from New Zealand, Ursula Krause from Germany, Audrey Collins from the UK and Helen Smith from Australia. 

Australians who may be sleeping while the live sessions are broadcast will not miss out on any of the sessions. Attendees will have access to recordings & handouts for all sessions for 6 months following the event - watch any time, any place, on any device. 

Closed captioning via Rev.com will be added to all sessions and made available to attendees within 7 days of the event.

VGA Virtual Conference - Six months access

I registered for the VGA Virtual Conference today even though I will not be able to attend in real time. I will be somewhere off the coast of Miami on a cruise ship heading towards Buenos Aires on that day.

There is no way I want to miss hearing from the speakers who are presenting so I am pleased that I will be able to access recordings of the talks for six months after the conference. Thos of you in Australia will be able to watch the talks in your leisure at a downunder family time.

Just take a look at the picture below, you will recognise some of the international geneastars who are in the conference lineup. You will recognise some of our favourite foreign presenters like Judy G Russell and Blaine Bettinger. Other speakers in the lineup that I have particularly enjoyed are Ursula Krause from Germany, Denise Levenick and Bernice Bennett from the US and Christine Woodcock, a Scots born Canadian who is one of the best presenters on Scotland around.

Registration is only $US59 for VGA members and $US79 for nonmembers (you may as well join so you can access the Association's regular program of webinars).

This is amazing value for three full days of geneaelearning but you had better hurry - registrations close on Friday 18 October. Scroll to the bottom of this page to register  https://virtualgenealogy.org/2019-vga-conference/
