Today was the day before the official start of #RootsTech 2014, and it was called the Innovator’s Summit. There were probably about 400 people who attended the Keynote, and that was followed by 4 4 sessions with 4 speakers to choose from in each session.
Today I was live tweeting a lot at the session using the official #RootsTech hash tag, and those described my day quite well. This year, I’ll do something different and summarize my daily blog entries by listing my tweets. So here goes:
Checking all the #RootsTech tweets as I get ready and look forward to the Innovators Summit day.

It'll be a nice Feb day today at #RootsTech, up to 0 deg C (32 F). What little snow is on the ground might melt.

At the end of the Town Hall Session, I talked to Catherine “Kitty” Cooper and her husband Shipley Munsen of FamilySearch.
I like Luther Tychonievich's use of "claim" for "source detail" and "belief" for "conclusion" and I'm going to use them. #RootsTech
