OGS Barrie 2015 Banquet

On Saturday night, the OGS conference hosted a banquet which was sponsored by FamilySearch. It was great to see everyone all dressed up and having the chance to just enjoy connecting. 



The meal was fantastic, with a choice of either salmon or beef. The kids who were serving were so much fun to watch. They were high energy, engaging and efficient. 

The after dinner speaker was Dr Maurice Gleeson. He entertained us with lots of laughs in his talk about Genealogy 2020. It was fascinating to think of some of the concepts he shared in terms of where he thinks the world of genealogy will be in five years time. 

After the banquet people had the chance to hang out with friends old and new and to really relax and enjoy the company.
