Family Tree Live 2020: Speakers & Tutors Hub

Thank you for being part of Family Tree Live 2020!
Welcome to the speakers & tutors hub and we’re delighted to have you as a valuable part of the programme for Family Tree Live 2020!
 
This is your one-stop shop for useful information you will need, such as deadlines, check lists, FAQs and promotional material for you to download and use. We will be adding these things and more to this web page over the weeks and months to come as we all prepare for the show.
 
At any point, if you’ve got any queries, please email [email protected]

The programme
To see the programme please click here for lectures and here for workshops.
 Customers will be able to book their places on the same place that they buy their tickets – click here.

We've also included the programme in a more readable format in the March issue of Family Tree. 
 
Shareable graphics
We’ve also created speaker and tutor graphics – a bespoke one for each of your presentations.
Click here to find them, download them, share them on social media, print etc to get the word out about Family Tree Live 2020!
In addition to downloading your own, you may also like to create, for instance, Facebook galleries (including the speaker and tutor graphics for your areas of interest, to create a bit of ‘you may also like’ love!).
 
If you don’t see a graphic for your presentation, please just let me know (and if you’ve yet to send me a picture of you, just pop that over and I’ll get it sorted).
 
Your show pass
I’ve had a few presenters ask about this, and think I must have forgotten to say sooner – apologies: as a speaker or tutor at Family Tree Live you will pick up your complimentary show pass at the start of the relevant day. Further details to follow.
