Latest Updates for Rootstech
The countdown is on! I have five more sleeps until I take off for Salt Lake City for Rootstech. With only a week left until the conference begins, now is a good time to go over the latest information that has been released.
The live streaming schedule has finally been released. I love getting this information beforehand so I can set my schedule up. I tend to not go to those lectures that are being live streamed because I know I will get to see them online. However, depending on the speaker I just might change my mind.

I definitely plan to be in the audience to see the Scott brothers, Buddy and Levar. I am not 100% sure about any of the others, yet.
Also, if you have not noticed the Rootstech App is also available through your favorite app store. I downloaded the app a few weeks ago and still have not gone through it to set up my schedule. I hope to get that done this week.
