What our attendees are saying about NMC's Online Conferences: ______________________________

"Wow! Where do I begin? Loved the topics — loved the speakers — loved the presentations — loved the environment!."
Director of Academic Computing

“Fascinating presentations! I loved the variety of means available to pursue the discussions they catalyzed - in the Happy Hour conversations, discussion forums, private meetings etc. The technical support and personal welcome extended from the organizers was absolutely fantastic.”
Web Designer

“I appreciate the opportunity to learn what others are doing in such a flexible format. I would not have been able to attend this conference if it were not online. Being able to pop in and out of activities as time permitted during my normal workload was great. The presentations have been stellar! .”
Faculty Support Specialist

"This was my first NMC Online Conference and it far exceeded my expectations. I have never experienced this level of creativity, quality, innovation and passion at any higher education conference. Thank you!"
Instructional Technologist

"First, no superlative is quite good enough to tell you how valuable this experience was on numerous levels! Content, process, new media, communication, community — I'm amazed at how much energy and information I got from this meeting. As a F2F-aholic, I did not expect that."
Assistant Vice Provost
