My NGS Experience

"I loved all the top name genealogical speakers who were there and all the different topics presented. The vendor hall was quite large with a variety of different products available. I liked that you could talk to each vendor to get a more in depth knowledge of their product.Lots of new people to meet was another highlight. I finally got to meet two other genealogist that I only knew through social media."
