Conference Dining
We hope you’ll join us for Tuesday night’s Welcome Reception where there will be a buffet of finger foods…and also for the Closing Banquet on Friday night. But in the meantime, downtown Salt Lake City has a wide variety of dining venues. Many restaurants are within walking distance of the Crystal Inn (the conference hotel) and the Salt Palace Convention Center, where classes will be held.
Conference Travel
Salt Lake City, the “Crossroads of the West,” is known for being easily accessible by car, rail, bus, and air. And it is one of the easiest cities to get to and to navigate as a visitor.
Conference Venue and Lodging
The Crystal Inn and Suites Salt Lake City is the official hotel for the 2026 FEEFHS Conference. It is the site of Tuesday’s pre-Conference workshops and also the Conference’s social events on Tuesday and Friday evenings.
The Salt Palace Convention Center is the site of classes on Wednesday through Friday and is one block from the FamilySearch Library, the largest genealogy library in the world.
