Here we go, folks…the excitement begins!
More people want to attend Gen-Fed than we can accommodate at NARA. For that reason, we use a random selection process to even the playing field:
-
- Fill out the Attendee Seat entry form (remains open for one week)
- If you win a seat in our random drawing, you’ll be registered.*
FAQ
Q: How will I know if I won a Gen-Fed seat?
A: Winners will be randomly drawn on Saturday, 18 March 2023 at 1:00 p.m. ET during a live session, viewable by all, via Zoom (you don’t need to be present to win).
Q: How many seats are available?
A: This is determined by (a) decisions of 2020, 2021, and 2022 registrants who opted to delay until Gen-Fed could be held on-site, plus (b) the number of 2022/2023 scholarship winners who selected Gen-Fed as their institute of choice. Twenty additional names, above and beyond the remaining available seats, will be drawn for waitlist status.
Q: How many times can I enter?
A: Once, please. Duplicates will not be included in the drawing.
Q: When will waitlist winners be notified that they’re “in?”
A: ASAP, if/when seats become open.
Q: When do I pay tuition?
A: Payment ($575) will be due, in full, upon email notification that you’ve won a seat and are, therefore, registered.*
Q: What if I’m attending on a scholarship (ex: Lackey, ASG, Ancestry ProGenealogists, etc.)?
A: No need to fill out the form–your seat has already been reserved and tuition paid.
