Last May I attended the National Genealogical Society (NGS) Conference in Las Vegas. This year the conference will be in Richmond, Virginia (7-10 May) and I'm going, virtually.

NGS will be live-streaming several presentations that one may watch from the comfort of one's computer (or other capable electronic devise) and one may purchase access to two tracks of offerings.
