Is the NGS3013 Conference on your wishlist? You still have two more weeks for preregistration - deadline is April 22 and then the cost goes up. Don't wait register now.
There will be a lot of things going on before, during, and after the conference. Extend your time and do some sight seeing, see a show or two, drop a couple of quarters into the slots and just have fun. The weather should be great if you are outdoors - lots of golf courses in the area
What's new this year? What is being planned? ....of course this is besides all the great sessions that are planned to aide in our research of our ancestors.

I am getting spoiled. When I go to a conference (any conference) I expect to have a conference app available for my iphone & ipad. I am so dissappointed when there isn't one available.
But my wish came true again......
Did you know that NGS has a Mobile App for your smartphones and ipads and it is available now? Yes NOW. If you are going to attend this conference, download the app from the app store and get organized. You can schedule your sessions, travel, meals, extra activities, keep in touch with other participants through the app twitter and facebook connection. The app contains maps of the conference center, hotel..... lists of other events, activities and restaurants inside and outside the hotel. You can evaluate each session through the app.
To download the NGS Mobile App
I am hearing (rumors only at this point) that there may be several free sessions for people who cannot attend to watch and enjoy. More on that when information comes available.
