February 20 to 22, 2014 London, England
The Who Do You Think You Are? Live! event is probably the largest family history gathering in the world. It typically attracts 12,000 to 15,000 attendees each year. It is always held at the Olympia Centre in London, England.
Past conferences have typically been held on Friday through Sunday. However, the show's organizers have announced a change for the 2014 show: it will be held on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 20 to 22 February, 2014.
The format of the 2014 will remain similar to past events: more than 150 free workshops, free services which can identify and date military memorabilia and old photographs, and the chance to spend time with a genealogy expert plus Eric Knowles on standby to look at your family heirlooms. All in all, this should again be a great event.
The venue will remain the same: at the Olympia Centre in West Kensington, part of greater London. The Olympia Centre itself has quite a history, having opened in 1886. It is a huge venue and is easily reachable by rail. The nearest railway station is Kensington (Olympia) station which serves as both a London Overground station and, on weekends, a District Line station on the London Underground.
