What our attendees are saying about the NMC Summer Conference: ______________________________

"The conference exceeded my expectations. A great group of creative, dedicated, very intelligent people with enough ideas in 2½ days to make it feel like 10!"

"This was my first year to attend the conference - and it far exceeded my expectations. I have never experienced this level of creativity, quality, innovation and passion at a higher education conference. Thank you!"

"The NMC is the premiere gathering place of higher education’s most creative people. "

"The presenters allocated a considerable amount of their presentation time to demo and discussion. This hands-on discussion time is a huge benefit when considering using a new technology or using technology in innovative ways in academic teaching environments."

2005 NMC Summer Conference

The 2005 NMC Summer Conference was held June 15-18, 2005, in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Digital Media Center at the University of Hawaii hosted the 2005 Summer Conference.

The beauty of Manoa Valley serves as a backdrop for a unique yet inviting campus. Wander through the campus and find an authentic Japanese tea house and garden actually located on East-West Center grounds, a studies center that is a replica of a Korean king’s throne hall, and a Hawaiian taro patch. New structures include the striking Pacific Ocean Science and Technology building on campus and a privately donated marine biology facility on Coconut Island.

University of Hawai‘i at Manoa has widely recognized strengths in tropical agriculture, tropical medicine, oceanography, astronomy, electrical engineering, volcanology, evolutionary biology, comparative philosophy, comparative religion, Hawaiian studies, Asian studies, Pacific Islands studies, and Asian and Pacific region public health. UH Manoa offers instruction in more languages than any U.S. institution outside the Department of State.

Your hosts at UH Manoa have prepared a special Guide to Oahu especially for NMC attendees.
