TIPS for Partner Societies

Thriving genealogical societies have passionate members who are excited about researching their ancestry and can’t wait to share how they found their latest discovery. The 2024 TxSGS Family History Conference is the perfect opportunity for injecting enthusiasm into local society members, giving them the tools they need to make breakthroughs.

This year’s conference kicks off with TxSGS Live! on November 1-2, which includes ten presentations with live Q&A by well-known genealogical speakers. These sessions will be combined with an additional 31 pre-recorded lectures and made accessible to registrants on-demand until February 2. 2025. Learn more about this year’s event on our website at txsgs.org.

You’re Invited …

TxSGS invites your society to participate in TIPS (TxSGS Impacting Partner Societies), a Partner Society fundraiser through the 2024 TxSGS Family History Conference. Not only will you be encouraging your members to expand their research horizons but also you will be raising funds for your society. 

• Be sure your Partner Society signs up with the TIPS program, and you’ll receive a unique society code to be used by individuals during registration.
• Promote the conference and your code to your members, associates, and friends.
• TxSGS will donate $10 to your society for each person that registers for the TxSGS All Access conference package with your code between the time registration opens in July through October 15, 2024.
• Plus, societies who register for the TIPS program are eligible for a special TIPS rate to be an Exhibitor in the TxSGS Conference Virtual Expo Hall.

This offer is applicable to registrations at TxSGS All Access package level.

Getting the Word Out

 You can publicize your society code any way you normally publicize events: Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), lnstagram, email, on your website, or in your newsletter. There’s no need to keep your code private. After all, the more people that see your code and register for the conference, the better!

To help you publicize the conference, TxSGS will be posting images, a flyer, newsletter articles, and more for you to download at the TxSGS Media Resources page at www.txsgs.org/ media-resources/ . Check back at this site often – we’ll be adding more items over the next few months.

Registering for the TIPS Program

How does your society sign up for the program? The president of your society or their designee can register for TIPS here. By signing up for the program, your society is agreeing to promote the conference to your members. Don’t wait to get the word out – other societies will be promoting their code, too.
