Society Saturday - ICGS attends conferences

It's Society Saturday.

What can you do to jump start your society? We like to attend conferences and workshops. We listened to some of the best speakers in the country and tried to bring those lessons back to our own research. You can also get inspiration close to home at the genealogical society meetings in your adjoining counties.

Here is a list of learning opportunities we took advantage of over the past year and those we are currently planning to attend. Maybe we'll see you there.
