The Salt Lake City, Utah newspaper, the Deseret News has been running articles about the recent RootsTech 2014 Conference. Here is a list of the articles so far. You may wish to take a look at what the press is saying about the Conference.
I think this particular conference solidified the position bloggers can play in the serious world of news production. I would hope that all the bloggers at the Conference would take the time to write serious evaluations of the Conference and help to improve future conferences. Thanks to all who attended the Conference and more thanks to all those who wrote about it.
