BOSTON, Sept. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global brand
experience agency Jack Morton Worldwide has helped NBC News create
"Education Nation"— a national summit that will gather hundreds of
the nation's top leaders in education, media, government, and
business at Rockefeller Plaza in New York
City for a discussion about the state of our nation's
education system. The goal: spotlight solutions that are making a
difference for students across the country.
The Summit, to be held from Sunday,
September 25 to Tuesday, September
27, consists of live events and panel sessions available for
viewing online at EducationNation.com, complemented by education
reports and programming across the network's shows and platforms
throughout the week.
All events and broadcasts will be situated in environments
designed by Jack Morton, which
worked with NBC News as its experience design partner. Jack Morton's designs include the Plaza space,
the Summit space, as well as interactive digital components,
including a blogger lounge that will make live social media content
available throughout the summit.
"Jack Morton is honored to have
designed the experience that will bring people together for this
important national conversation on education – a topic that is so
vital to our country, our economy and our future," said
Josh McCall, Chairman and CEO of
Jack Morton Worldwide. "We look forward to the success of NBC
Education Nation and the results of the summit."
Education Nation seeks to create a thoughtful,
well-informed dialogue with policymakers, thought-leaders,
educators, parents and the public, in pursuit of the shared goal of
providing every American with an opportunity to achieve the best
education in the world. These discussions cover the challenges,
potential solutions and innovations spanning the education
landscape. By providing quality information to the public, NBC News
hopes to educate Americans so they can make decisions about how
best to improve our education system both in the near and long
terms, and to shine a spotlight on one of the most urgent national
issues of our time, so that America can once again become the
Education Nation of the world.
