Welcome to the IGGP 2025 international conference. We’re looking forward to a great weekend of learning and fun. But before you get started, let’s acknowledge the people who helped put this all together.

We thank John Harder and the team from the Palatines to American German Genealogy Society for 2 years of hard work in planning the conference. It takes a lot of volunteer time and effort to pull off a conference like our’s, and we applaud them.

We also offer heartfelt thanks to the partners who have supported the conference financially as sponsors. This is a network of societies doing incredible work in support of German research. Some of our partners can be visited in the exhibition space, so stop by to check out their work. And consider joining!

We also thank our commercial sponsors and exhibitors, who are offering a variety of services and products. Please stop by their booths and say hello.

Have a fun weekend!
