2025 CGSI Conference Registration Now Open!
Early-bird registration is now open for the 2025 CGSI Genealogical & Cultural Conference. The conference will be held October 28-November 1, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kansas City - Overland Park.
A CGSI conference is a great place to learn, share, and connect with the genealogy, history, and culture of those from the Czech and Slovak ancestral lands of Central Europe. The format allows you to connect with information, resources, and other attendees via presentations and workshops, tours, networking opportunities, and social events.
