Sponsor booths, like ours, will have product demos and downloadable handouts.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual booths also have a \u201cchat\u201d feature that gives you the opportunity to chat with a team member from the sponsoring company. The FamilyTreeDNA chat feature will be staffed almost 24 hours a day, giving you the opportunity to ask your questions in any timezone.<\/p>\n<p>The expo hall, including the chat feature, will open up on March 1 at 4:00 PM MST.<\/p>\n<h2>Relatives at RootsTech<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;77931&#8243; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;69&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;166776&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;688786&#8243;]RootsTech Virtual allows you to connect with other conference attendees and possibly add them to your family tree with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familysearch.org\/en\/connect\/b72a8a10-4959-4bd5-b39d-f99b00e8a946\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Relatives at RootsTech<\/a>.
