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."
