Yes, the conference was held in Boston in January. But it was among the warmest two winter days, and no snow around. I remember it quite well, because I walked back to the New England Historic Genealogical Library in flats, not boots! The list of speakers is below, as well as a listing of some lectures. A few are quite similar in nature to the ones offered in February 2011 and you will recognize many of the speaker's names as well.
In 2002 there were no bloggers, no lectures about Google, Social Networking, Apps, Flip-Pals or any other recent products. Among the 2002 offered lectures were:
Using FamilySearach.org
Digital Cameras
How to Cite Your Internet Sources
Organizing and Time Management
Evaluating Web Resources
Credible Clues from the Incredible Internet
How to Create Your Own Genealogy CD Disks
Power Tools: The Power is in You, Not the Tool
Using Palm Pilot Computers
Mysteries of the Soundex

Like the song says, some things change, some stay the same. It's amazing how much has happened in this 9-year interval, especially in terms of community. Thanks for a cool peek at the past, Barbara.
I love the list of lectures and the list of speakers. It's amazing how things change. I wonder what the 2022 brochures will look like? Will we still have Google? iPads?
LOVE this! Thanks so much for sharing it.
Thanks ladies. Something from the past is always fun to look at, even tho it is only 9 years ago.
I like TK's comment!
Some of those topics seem almost quaint now, only 9 years later.
