We will be holding a Geni BOF meeting during the IAJGS conference in Jerusalem at 2pm on Thursday July 9. I hope to see everyone there.

I will unfortunately be unable to make it to Jerusalem this year, but is there any way that I could participate remotely?

Private User,

I don't have a clue. I do know that remotes have been done before at other IAJGS conferences in the past. One of them involved the Executive Director of JRI-Poland when he had the Shingles.

Private User You might try contacting the conference chairman to find out which sessions will be streamed live.

You probably have to pay to enter the conference. See http://iajgs2015.org/
But once you are in, you can come to the Geni BOF meeting and the other lectures.

I will try to come

Great. I'll be there. Looking forward to meeting you and other BOFers.!

I canceled my trip to Israel. Too many other commitments between family and work. I am not able to take off the several weeks that I would need to to make this trip worthwhile.

I hope to be there. Any idea of the room number?

7/2/2015 at 12:38 AM

It will be in a conference room called "Delila"

Hi. It's my first conference so sorry for the newbies questions.
I want to come to the meeting. Does it involve any kind of registration (except for the conference in general obviously)?
Is there any kind of fee I need to pay?
And finally, can someone please explain me what will the meeting be about? I've never been to a BOF meeting before and don't know exactly what it is.
Thank you very much for your your help and answers,
Hope to see you soon,
Orr Sela

Hi Orr. As long as you are registered for the IAJGS conference then there is no additional payment. And no pre-registration - just turn up. Birds of a Feather (known as BOF meetings) are designed so users can get together to discuss a common area of interest (in this case is will be users of Geni). There will be a chance to meet a number of fellow users and Curators. Talk about the product and how it can be best used and improved. Look forward to seeing you at the BOF meeting!

Bella bracha Rosenberg According to IAJGS2015 website -http://www.iajgs2015.org - online registration is over.

I guess you must register on site at the "Ramada Jerusalem" which
is located very close to the Kiryat Moshe light rail stop, or if you drive, near the Israel Museum, Ruppin Bridge at Herzl Blvd.
