Before arriving in Glasgow, participants will gain access to a secure online portal where they can connect with fellow delegates and the SIGS team. The portal will also feature top tips, valuable resources and updates from the organising team.
The Ken Your Kin experience will provide opportunities for participants to ask questions, engage in discussions, and benefit from one-to-one genealogy research input from qualified genealogists.
Participants will also enjoy daily opportunities to immerse themselves in Scottish culture and history by exploring a range of iconic venues, such as The Tenement House and the National Museum of Rural Life.
Spaces are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure group access to venues and to enable the SIGS team to deliver a high-quality experience.
Please note, Sunday the 8th of June is a free day to give participants the opportunity to relax or explore the city.
We look forward to sharing our Scottish culture and history and meeting new friends!
