RootsTech 2024, a global gathering of family history enthusiasts, will be in person at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City and virtually at rootstech.org. The three-day gathering (February 29 through March 2, 2024) will feature several keynotes.

Thursday, February 29: Henry Cho

Known as “Mr. Clean” within the comedic stand-up industry, Cho has gained a reputation to make audiences roll with laughter without compromising his desire to only use wholesome comedy. Born to Korean parents and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Cho draws upon the memories of his life and upbringing to spread joy to his large audiences. Cho brings a wealth of laughter and a rich tapestry of life experiences to the main stage.

Friday, March 1: Lynne M. Jackson

Jackson is the great-great-granddaughter of Dred and Harriet Scott, an enslaved couple well known for taking their case for freedom to the U.S. Supreme Court. The theme for RootsTech 2024 is “Remember,” a fitting framework for Jackson’s keynote address. She created the foundation to “promote the commemoration, education and reconciliation of our histories … and ensure that we never forget the struggle for freedom, citizenship and equality, with an eye towards helping to heal the wounds of the past.”

Saturday, March 2: Kristin Chenoweth
