As part of the array of social media tools used at the 2009 NMC Summer Conference, we asked conference attendees who had any sort of personal video recording device (Flip, cell phone, hand held) to share clips of the conference activity. We provided a drop.io site to collect the videos, which were edited into the short feature below.

Included is footage of the Point Lobois Photo workshop, the Web 2.0 Digital Storytelling Pre-Conference workshop, scenes around Monterey, and impromptu comments from attendees.

As the tradition goes the last act of the 2009 NMC Summer Conference was the showing of a video as to promote the following year's conference.

Playing off of the pop culture themes of Southern California and the conference (the Disney hotel in Anahem), USC hosts Susan Metros and Holly Willis provided some compelling and fun reasons for conference attendees to look ahead to the 2010 NMC Summer Conference.

At the 2009 NMC Summer Conference, the lifetime work of Doug Engelbart was recognized in the presentation to him of his NMC Fellows Award, the New Media Consortium's highest individual honor.

For this event, long time colleagues Lev Gonick and Kristina Woolsey engaged in a conversation that highlighted the impacts of Doug's work on the field of New Media. Doug and his family were present for this special moment. He was joined by the three previous NMC Fellows Award Winners-- Ted Kahn , Krsitina Woolsey, and Carl Berger.
