Abstract
On January 24-26, 2012, one hundred distinguished thought leaders from all over the world were invited to come together in Austin to mark the tenth anniversary of the NMC Horizon Project with a very special convocation and retreat.
Nine engaging speakers were interspersed between working sessions as David Sibbet, CEO of the Grove and the world’s leading visual facilitator, led the group over the two days through discussions that started very broad, then funneled quickly to focus, and fostered strong consensus by the last day.
That strong consensus was especially evident on the last day of the retreat, when the 28 megatrends emerged from the discussions. The top ten most significant megatrends are listed in the official "Communiqué from the Horizon Project Retreat.
The New Media Consortium (NMC) was acquired by EDUCAUSE in February 2018.
