Roots Tech is the annual Family Search conference held in Salt Lake City each year.  It will take place this coming week on Thursday, March 21 through Saturday, March 23.  A few of the Roots Tech sessions will be streamed live over the internet so it will be possible to view them from home.  You will need an internet connection capable of viewing streaming video.  Times listed are Mountain Time, so start times would be an hour later here.
