2009 NMC Summer Conference in Monterey, California

This is one of the most important e-learning conferences in North America. I would love to go, but can’t, as I am flying my plane coast to coast as part of the 100th anniversary celebrations of the first trans-continental air flight across Canada. So think of me when you are in Monterrey!
