RootsTech 2026 Keynote Speakers

Each year, the keynote speakers help ground the conference in something deeper than records and research techniques. They remind us that family history is about people, lived experiences, and the stories that connect us across generations. Reminding us why we do this genealogy work.

This year is no different with a lineup of keynote speakers including:

  • Marlee Matlin – Award winning actress and deaf rights advocate
  • Tara Roberts – Author, historian, and National Geographic Ocean Explorer
  • Steve Young – Record setting NFL quarterback, philanthropist, and business leader
  • Steve Rockwood – President and CEO of Family Search
  • Jose Hernandez (Virtual Keynote Speaker) – NASA astronaut, scientist, engineer, and author
  • The Gardiner Brothers (Virtual Keynote Speaker) – Irish dance world champions and TikTok superstars
  • Jessica Soho (Virtual Keynote Speaker) – Award winning journalist and host of the most popular news program in the Phillippines
  • Zico (Virtual Keynote Speaker) – Legendary soccer player and coach from Brazil
