NMC Summer Conference
The NMC Summer Conference series has been as rich and robust as the host cities themselves. Most recently we've lived it up in L.A. and mingled in Madison, and in 2012, we'll have a ball in Boston. Now, we want to hear from you on which city you'd like to call home for the NMC Summer Conference in June, 2013. We have some fantastic options in mind, so let us know by December 9 where you'd prefer to soak up edtech knowledge (and some sunshine!). And, to get even more pumped up, check out the Five Minutes of Fame video above from the 2011 NMC Summer Conference at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.
