Registration for RootsTech 2023 is now open at RootsTech.org.
The global family history gathering will be March 2–4, 2023, with an in-person event in the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City to complement its online experience.
The theme for RootsTech 2023 is “Uniting.” RootsTech is all about bringing people, stories, memories, technology, innovation, communities and, ultimately, families together.
Plan to join millions of virtual and in-person attendees March 2–4, 2023, for inspiring keynote addresses, instructive classes, innovative technologies, and most of all, the ability to connect people to their family — past, present, and future.
“Families are the foundation of society,” said FamilySearch CEO Steve Rockwood in an October 6 news release. “Connecting and uniting families across generations strengthens individuals and nations alike. We are amazed and gratified to see the role RootsTech has been able to play in helping literally millions of individuals connect with their family, past, present and future.”

“For those of you questioning whether to join us virtual or in person, the best part about this year is you get to choose how you join us,” said Jen Allen, director of events at FamilySearch in the live RootsTech Q&A in September. “We hope you will come to Salt Lake if you’re able, but if you aren’t, the virtual experience is going to be incredible. We cannot wait to connect with all of you all over the world.”
