” I never get tired of hearing that phrase, and I have to say, it’s my favorite part of getting to attend nonprofit conferences like NTC. This year at NTC in (cold, windy, briefly sunny) Washington, D.C., adopting design best practices. So they decided to test a new design that cleaned up the look.

Howard Gardner has dedicated his life work to this Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Yet, many conference panels are designed to accommodate only one or two styles of learning and go shallow instead of going deep.
