Today was the official first day of #RootsTech. Here’s what happened according to my tweets:
Close to 5000 people listening to Dennis Brimhall's opening keynote at #RootsTech

Annelies Jansen in her #rootstech
keynote "the only way to talk to the mother with Alzheimers was to drive her to places and do genealogy"
— Louis Kessler (@louiskessler) February 6, 2014
I love hearing the way Annelies Jansen #RootsTech
keynote precisely pronounces "geneAlogy" correctly.

My presentation on Window Phone was somewhat surprisingly lightly attended by about 50 people, but it went well. #RootsTech

Enjoying listening to Vocal Point at #RootsTech

Vocal Point asks the #RootsTech
audience: "Your ancestors precede you. What do you call someone following you?" A girl yelled "a stalker".
— Louis Kessler (@louiskessler) February 7, 2014
And this was the tweet from the girl who said that:
@BYUVocalPoint
asked, what's the name of people who come after u? I screamed stalkers they said no descendants… #rootstech
