The second Celtic Connections Conference was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on August 5-6, 2016.

The Celtic Connections Conference was a joint venture by Irish Genealogical Society International and The Irish Ancestral Research Association to bring together those interested in all aspects of Celtic culture, through genealogy, history, music and literature.

The conference was held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Minneapolis, MN - Park Place, just outside downtown Minneapolis.  That’s the West End area in St. Louis Park, MN.  The two day event will include 20+ lecturers and presentations by well-known experts.

2016 conference headliners included international experts:
