Gearing up for RootsTech 2023 is no small feat. There is much to plan, prepare, and coordinate to put on the biggest genealogy conference in the world. A key part of the RootsTech experience is the Main Stage, where attendees are provided an unforgettable experience in the form of entertainment, inspiration, and knowledge.

Kaija Argyle, the Main Stage Coordinator, explains, "At RootsTech 2023, we are celebrating our shared connections through cultural entertainment from around the world, inspiring keynote discoveries, and localized emcees speaking in 11 different languages. This is an event you won't want to miss!"
And the most exciting part is that RootsTech is just around the corner! So we are excited to share with you our full keynote line-up. This year, RootsTech will be held March 2-4, both in-person at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City and virtually at rootstech.org. Make sure to register, for either virtual or in-person attendance, to be inspired by these amazing keynote speakers.
RootsTech 2023 Keynote Speakers
The Main Stage at RootsTech is where keynote speakers address the audience. Each keynote speaker at RootsTech has been hand-selected with a specific purpose to share their unique message. Along with keynote speakers, the Main Stage has been a place of cultural entertainment in years past, as well as a place where industry experts share their announcements and information.

Global Emcees
For the first time ever, RootsTech 2023 will offer localized main stage sessions. We will have 15 emcees from all over the world that will be speaking in their native language to direct attendees through the conference on the main stage. This is in response to the needs of our worldwide RootsTech audience. Different areas need different things, and RootsTech strives to accommodate those needs.

As you can see, this year we have a whole schedule of entertainment and knowledge that will be given to you over the three-day span of the conference. So come and be inspired by keynote messages and stories of heritage, tradition, and culture, as well as learn from top companies in the industry about innovations that will help discover our families.
