I really enjoy using Twitter during genealogy conferences. It allows me to share with people at home, communicate with fellow attendees and reach out to vendors, sponsors and other entities.
I usually make a list of conference Twitter users in case I need to refer to them during the event. I did the same thing this year for RootsTech, but figured I'd throw it on the blog and share it with anyone interested....so here you go. This list includes official conference accounts, sponsors, keynote speakers and vendors.
This is not a list of all sponsors and vendors at RootsTech. This is merely a list of those who have a Twitter presence. I tried to search all vendor websites, but some did not make their social media presence obvious and I wasn't about to go blindly searching through the madness If you see one that needs to be added, let me know.
The official hashtag for this event is #rootstech.
