FGS Conference in Salt Lake City
The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) and the Utah Genealogical Association (UGA) are holding a conference in Salt Lake City. The conference is titled, "Reminders of the Past-Visions for the Future," and will be held from Wednesday September 7th to Saturday September 10th, 2005. For more details please link to the FGS website.
The cost of registration for all 4 days is $159 if you register before July 26th. The normal price after July 26th is $189, so you save $30 by registering early. You can also register for just one day for $81 if you do it early, and $95 after July 26th.
The Fun Stuff for Genealogists Company is giving away one free admission. The instructions to enter can be found at their site. The site does says that the deadline for entries is August 14th, which means you would be too late to order the registration with the early bird discount if you don't win. Someone brought this to Bev's attention though on Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and Bev responded by saying she would change the deadline to July 25th, so those who find out they didn't win the free registration can still buy the discounted registration from the FGS site.
The FGS President says that "[This conference] will be this year’s premier genealogical event, west of the Mississippi River."
