DNA Painter at Rootstech 2020

In exactly one week’s time I’ll be in Salt Lake City for Rootstech.

It will be the second time DNA Painter has exhibited. A lot has changed since 2018, when my newly created company was awarded a booth within ‘Innovation Alley’ as part of the DNA Innovation contest.

This year, I’m looking forward to demonstrating some new and recently released features and also meeting users along with new and old friends.

If you’re coming to Salt Lake City, I hope you’ll come by and say hello at booth 1543. Here are a few details:

  • I’m delighted to say I’ll be joined by Leisa Byrne and Patricia Coleman, long-time moderators of the DNA Painter user group on Facebook
  • To reach the booth, veer to the right when you enter the Expo Hall. We are towards the back on the right. We’re opposite the Rootstech store, and our neighbours at booth 1545 are the fine people of DNAGedcom
