others.

The official conference language will be English. The program will
include over 150 presentations on a variety of subjects including
available archival material, research methodology, and the history of
Jewish communities throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
Presentations will be aimed at everyone, >from "first-time" conference
attendees to veterans of IAJGS conferences, and >from beginner to
expert level genealogists.

The conference will begin officially on Sunday with an opening
reception and program at 5 pm, but prior to that there will be morning
lectures on local archival resources and how to use the conference
mobile device app, walking tours of Warsaw, and an afternoon
"ShareFair" including experts >from all over Central & Eastern Europe.
More to come about programming at a later date, but we realize that
the starting times might be of use to planning your arrival into
Warsaw.

All official conference events (lectures, panels, receptions and
workshops) will be held at the Hilton Warsaw Hotel which is located at
63 Grzybowska Street for the convenience of our attendees. We have
reserved all regular hotel rooms at the Hilton and they are blocked
for only IAJGS conference use at the present time. We will soon open
hotel registration through a link to a special webpage provided by
Hilton. We will only guarantee rooms in the conference hotel with
proof of conference registration to be sure that the hotel will be
filled by conference attendees. The special conference price will
include: free wifi, access to the Holmes Place exercise club, and an
amazing breakfast buffet - all at a very reasonable price. So stay
tuned, and if you are ready to sign up for the conference and pay for
registration, please do... and tell all your friends to join us too!

Looking forward to seeing you in Warsaw!
