As described on the show website:

 "It is with excitement each year that we plan the next conference and then watch as the seeds planted at NECC begin to grow and take root throughout the year. ISTE members, friends and colleagues in education, are the catalysts who take the knowledge and creativity from all who converge at NECC back to your classrooms, libraries, offices or labs, and continue to build on the energy that is the NECC conference.
