Yesterday you were introduced to our new "30 Seconds" series -- fitting for busy NMC Summer Conference attendees! The NMC is all about reaching different learning sectors. In this installment, NMC Board Member Liz Neely shares her perspective on the Summer Conference as it relates to museums and other informal learning institutions.
 

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Jared Bendis's 116th consecutive NMC Summer Conference! But seriously, every year he comes with new ideas and engaging presentation formats that truly inspire. At #NMC14, he is working triple time! Press play to learn about his three sessions.

From Jason Ohler's "Five Trends That Bend" and Bill Frakes's "Prairie Vision" to all the breakout sessions, NMCers are building bridges from new ideas and technologies to innovative projects and plans of action. Our 2014 NMC Summer Conference Correspondents have been doing a great job of documenting the insights and experiences that make this event so special. Photo by Michael Berman.

We are fortunate to partner with leading education companies. Get to know lynda.com through the wise words of Brendan Nelson. A video about a video service -- whoaaa!

According to our opening keynote, Xtreme BYOD is here! And so is Xtremely good photography. NMC shutterbugs are on the move, capturing already-classic moments from the 2014 NMC Summer Conference -- just like this one of Jason Ohler exploring the future of augmented reality (via Nico Carver).

Alex Everett explains what he enjoyed most about the NMC Photo Safari Street Photography workshop with Kyle Dickson and Nil Santana.

The #NMC14 Twitterfall has been blowing up today thanks to all of you! We have had a blast reading through all of your thoughts and reactions to the Summer Conference experience. Major kudos to our Tweeter of the Day -- Rebecca D (@darlingbec)! Thanks, Rebecca, for keeping us all connected.

Meet new people and hopefully win an awesome prize (pictured)! Track who's winning by taking a look at the official leaderboard.
