UGA’s Summit of Excellence is an annual event to help genealogy enthusiasts improve their research skills and knowledge. The three-day virtual conference includes a variety of presentations and workshops for all experience levels. The conference begins with a “Getting Started Day,” with a focus on genealogy basics. In the following days, participants can explore more advanced topics through themed tracks like “Records” and “International,” with multiple expert-led sessions happening at the same time. This format lets attendees choose sessions that match their interests.  And if participants are interested in more than one session during a time slot, recordings of the sessions will be available for later viewing.

The Summit of Excellence is dedicated to offering educational resources to help participants sharpen their genealogical research skills.
