In mid-July, members of the DLS team participated in the annual BlackBoard World conference. This year's conference was held in Washington D.C. and saw the gathering of Bb developers, vendors, and users from across the nation. All in attendance at the conference took particular interest in:

- The demonstration of Bb Learn, Release 9: http://www.blackboard.com/release9/
- The merger of Bb and Angel Learning: http://www.blackboard.com/Company/Angel.aspx
- The unveiling of MobilEDU: http://www.blackboard.com/Company/MobilEdu.aspx

For those who could not attend the conference, Bb made several of the presentations delivered at BbWorld available online. To view these presentations, visit http://connections.blackboard.com/resources/a9da724c5b/posts
