We've all been there: that post-holiday season stretch where your desks are suddenly covered by papers and hundreds of emails are hitting your inboxes faster than a retro, automated voice can say "You've got mail!" The good news is that this burst of activity means that new ideas are beginning to take flight, along with exciting opportunities for collaboration.

It is a new year, brimming with new possibilities. The NMC wants to help you make those possibilities become a reality through our publications, webinars, events, and more.

In this episode of the the "NMC Voice," we talk about our free upcoming webinars, the 2012 Summer Conference, and the impending release of the NMC Horizon Report > 2012 Higher Education Edition.

What You Need to Know
The NMC is now officially taking proposals for Summer Conference 2012 at MIT. For more information, or to submit your proposal, visit the official Summer Conference page.

Want to choose the cover for the NMC Horizon Report > 2012 Higher Education Edition? We've received photo entries from the NMC Community, and now you can weigh in on which one you think best represents the future of technology and innovation in higher education. Just "like" the photo that you want to see grace the cover in our Facebook album.

Our next HP Catalyst Project Showcase is Tuesday, January 17th. Get all the info you need and RSVP here.
