$15 for IGSI members (with Discount Code); $25 for non-members
The annual session is an IGSI member favorite. Brick wall queries have been submitted by members in advance and will be used by the panelists to offer specific research suggestions. This is one of those precious opportunities to "look over the shoulders" of an experienced research team as they tackle ancestral mysteries.
Members will receive the Discount Code via email and it is posted on our member-only webpage (link). Non-members will find the link on our Activities listing (link).
