More than 300 faculty and students attended Open 2010, the NCIIA's 14th Annual Conference, in San Francisco from March 25-27.

Among the comments from attendees:

As usual, every year this conference impresses me with its organization and the level of knowledge disseminated.

This was probably the most informative meeting I've ever attended with respect to discovering what other institutions are doing similar work!

This was my first time at NCIIA and it was FANTASTIC! I am definitely coming back. So many of the talks I went to covered tangible things (tools, contacts, exercise, frameworks) that I can use in my class on commercializing new technologies. It was truly a valuable use of my time to come to the conference!

We've published a number of papers. View PowerPoint archives here.
