NEMO UniversityNEMO University, or NEMO U, is the national conference of the NEMO Network. Held every 18 months (or so), the focus of the conference is on providing opportunities for NEMO program leaders to network with one another, share successful approaches and learn about new technologies and techniques. (Photo galleries are provided below for the 5 NEMO University conferences held to date.) The Network was officially formed as a result of discussions at the first NEMO U, which was held in NEMO’s Humble Home in Haddam, CT in October 2000. The conference led to the creation of a Network Charter, which outlined a common mission and ground rules for NEMO programs. NEMO U2 was held in January 2002 in Charleston, SC and focused on the importance of partnerships both on the national and local levels. In May 2003, the Network returned to CT for a meeting at UConn’s Avery Point Campus. NEMO U3 focused on increasing the efficiency of the network by identifying the expertise resident in the Network and developing ways to best utilize and share those resources. NEMO U4 (NEMO U4ia) was held in Washington, DC in April 2005 and provided an opportunity to highlight the progress the Network was demonstrating across the country to our federal agency partners. U4 was attended by 100 Network participants, from 29 states, including agency folks from NASA, NOAA, USDA and NADO. NEMO U5 was held in Middletown, CT in October 2006. The theme, Cinco de NEMO, was apropos of nothing other than that this was the fifth iteration of a NEMO U, and it provided ample opportunities for creative punnery. The conference was well attended by Network members, potential Network members and partners, including twenty-one existing NEMO programs and four states in some stage of developing a NEMO program. In all, over 115 people participated in some aspect of the conference. As usual, the Conference featured plentiful opportunities for updates, networking and resource sharing, but also included some new elements. The Network Hub, in consultation with the conference planning committee, added two full days of training to the NEMO U5 agenda mix along two tracks—one geospatial and the other topical.
