MyHeritage Heads to RootsTech 2026

The countdown to RootsTech 2026 has begun, and MyHeritage is getting ready to join genealogists from around the world March 5–7, 2026, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and online. As the world’s largest family history conference, it features hundreds of genealogy classes and a dynamic Expo Hall — and the MyHeritage booth is always packed with activity.

If you’re attending in person, stop by our booth for a full schedule of live lectures and demos from MyHeritage experts and guest speakers throughout the day. You’ll also have the chance to meet our team, ask questions, explore what’s new, and enjoy a few surprises along the way.
