In just a few days, MyHeritage will be hosting its first-ever user conference in Oslo, Norway, with talks and workshops on November 3rd and 4th, 2018. If you, like me, couldn’t find room in your schedule or budget to attend in person, you’re in luck! You’ll miss out on the gorgeous skyline of Oslo, but the event is being live streamed.
The conference has three tracks: Genealogy, DNA, and Workshops. The first two will be live-streamed. The talks will be ideal for people who are just getting started with MyHeritage or are hoping to improve their skill sets, either via the popular DNA test or as subscribers to MyHeritage’s research records.
The live-stream schedule is listed below, with time conversions for some of the major DNA testing markets. An asterisk after the speaker’s name indicates that they work for MyHeritage or a subsidiary. The live streams will be available on the conference website here.
Some talks will be recorded and made available later, great news for those of us in incompatible time zones!
