Each year at Rootstech developers/innovators have
been encouraged to come up with new innovations of benefit to family
historians.
The newest
incarnation, The Innovator Showdown, debuted in 2015. Fifty-one software
developers from all over the world entered a challenge to create the best new
innovations in family history for an opportunity to win $25,000 in awards
provided by sponsors. Checkout the list of winners!
In 2016, there is $100,000 in awards,
Forty-six teams have gone through 2 rounds of judging and this has left 12
semifinalists. Check out the 12 semifinalists and if you are attending Rootstech, cast
your vote on the Friday, 10:30 a.m. in Hall D to help select the People’s
Choice winner.
Whether you will be attending Rootstech or not, which app
would get your vote?
