I will recommend this academy to my colleagues and share my observations with our tech folks. Even though I didn't make the first day (office moving mix-up) the two-day format is perfect: sufficient but not overwhelming. Additionally the conference atmosphere was friendly and collegial - size perhaps? - which is rare in academic conferences. I was especially impressed by the choice of visionary Jon Udell and by the presentation by the UMW tech-team about their process an services. Finally, the wiki &#38; blog connection is the *perfect* solution to the frustration of good session-generated conversations getting cut short to keep on conference schedule. With these tools we can continue our conversations and share later observations. Thanks to all - I'll be back! KUDOS & HUZZAH to the whole UMW tech-team for an *excellent* conference!
