RootsTech 2016: Streamed Sessions and Syllabus

What are you doing from Thursday 3 February to Saturday? The schedule for presentations streamed free from RootsTech is out. The table below has start times  in Eastern Standard Time. Sessions last 60 minutes except the opening General Sessions which are 90 minutes. While I have other commitments, notably on Saturday, I know what I'll be doing on Friday afternoon and evening.

Now also available is the syllabus (handouts) from most of the sessions. They are presented by presentation umber which isn't especially information.

By the way, several videos from last year's RootsTech are still available at www.rootstech.org/video/4050134760001

UPDATE: Thanks to Nancy for pointing out the typos, and apologies to those who committed to raising at 3:30 am for a Friday presentation.

    Which year? The Thursday is Feb 4th, etc. Also, I doubt the Friday sessions are at 3 am.

    Thanks for the reminder that the schedule is now out, plus the Syllabus.
    On the website, the schedule times are shown in Mountain Time (Utah)

    And yes, Thursday is the 4th. A few typos on the schedule, but not a biggie.
    Check out printable schedule here:
