The conference was opened by President David E. Rencher, and Sunny Jane Morton's moving talk "How Learning about the Past Can Change the Future: Family Stories and Intergenerational Identity". The attendance was definitely an increase from last year's in Louisville, I suspect because of the ACPL Genealogy Center.

CLASSES ATTENDED
There were so many classes to choose from that it was extremely hard. So many great speakers and topics! Luckily, NGS recorded a lot of them and I can listen to them online until July 15th.

By far the most surprising, informative, and very comical speaker was Dr. Penny Walters from the U.K. She blew my mind! If you have the chance to listen to her recorded class on the NGS-Whova app, please do!
NOTE: I do not post my thoughts on every class I attended. I am not good at it, but let me say that every class was exceptional. NGS has a knack for attracting the best of the best in the genealogy world. This is more of a visual documentary of my time.
