The demonstration will take place from 10 to 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 15, from the Music Building Recital Hall. All are welcome for a first-hand experience with technology that will play a vital role in the future of the educational enterprise.

NIU is one of only a few remote institutions invited to participate in the three-day Barcelona conference; others include Yale University, Conservatorio G. Tartini (Trieste, Italy), and Communications Research Center (Canada).
