FamilyTree University 19th-21st August 2011 - Myrt'll be there

DearREADERS,
It's not too late to register for an outstanding online genealogy conference. Just think -- no commuting!

Ol' Myrt here will be appearing for a LIVE segment titled:

Online Family Trees: Sharing Trees, Protecting Privacy and Collaborating with Strangers. 

Scheduled Start for this live chat session: Saturday August 20, 2011 12:00pm Eastern Daylight Time. (That is 11am Central, 10am Mountain and 9am Pacific US Time, daylight where applicable.)

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• 15 half-hour video classes in three tracks (See conference program for details.)
  • genealogy technology
  • research strategies
  • ethnic research
• Unlimited viewing: Your all-access pass gets you into all 15 classes during the three-day conference—you can even download the videos to watch again later or view ones you missed!
• Make your own schedule: Because the classes are pre-recorded, you don’t have to show up at a specific time to catch the ones you want—or choose between sessions you’re interested in.
• Live chats and message board discussions: Enhance your conference experience by participating in conversations with FTU staff and instructors. Chat topic schedule to come! (This is the part where DearMYRTLE will be participating -- real time chat screen - very interactive!)
• Convenience: Unlike in-person genealogy conferences and seminars, you can take part in the Family Tree University Virtual Conference anywhere you can connect to the internet: at home, at the library, at the coffee shop with your laptop—choose the spot that works best for you. Best of all: No travel costs and parking hassles!
