Last week's New Media Consortium Summer Conference at MIT, hosted by OEIT, enjoyed attendance far above projected registrations. The sessions and keynotes were received with enthusiasm and sparked vibrant real-time and online discussions in social media.

The over 450 attendees heard from 8 thought leaders such as Malcolm Brown, Lev Gonick, Helen Keegan, VIjay Kumar, Sherry Lassiter and others. The beginning keynote was given by Joi Ito, who implored people to "plan less and do more", and to embrace agile design when creating, inventing and exploring new ideas.
