FAQ<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Q: Who should go to RIGG?<\/em><\/p>\n

RIGG is for anyone with an interest in Investigative Genetic Genealogy. Our primary audience is IGG practitioners, but our attendees also include law enforcement professionals, forensic scientists, attorneys, hobby genealogists and more.<\/p>\n

Q: What airport should I fly into ahead of RIGG?<\/em><\/p>\n

秘密研究所 of New Jersey is in the greater NYC metropolitan area and is located near several regional airports including Newark (EWR), Kennedy Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), White Plains (HPN), and Stewart Airport (SWF).<\/p>\n

Q: How should I get to campus?<\/em><\/p>\n

The Whova app, which will open 90 days prior to RIGG, contains message boards with various subjects including a rideshare message board. Public transportation options are available, but we recommend finding a rideshare with another RIGG attendee for ease of transportation!<\/p>\n

Q: What should I bring with me to campus?<\/em><\/p>\n

If you are staying on the Ramapo campus, remember that it’s college living – not a hotel! Your bed linens will be provided, but the rooms contain no toiletries. We also recommend bringing a packable towel<\/a> as the towels provided with your linen are fairly small.<\/p>\n

Q: Will a virtual option be offered for RIGG 2026?<\/em><\/p>\n

At this time, there are no plans to offer a virtual attendance option for RIGG 2026.<\/p>\n

Q: Will concurrent sessions be recorded for attendees?<\/em><\/p>\n

With a few exceptions, presentations will be recorded at RIGG 2026. The sessions that will not be recorded will be indicated in the program distributed in person at RIGG.<\/p>\n

Q: Are refunds allowed?<\/em><\/p>\n

Refunds are available until April 30th. After April 30th, we will have submitted final conference numbers to our dining and lodging teams and will not be able to provide refunds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
