Summary:

This is the second time that I have had the privilege of serving the computing community by assuming a role of major responsibility in a National Computer Conference. Dr. Harvey Garner, General Chairman of the First National Computer Conference, asked me in the fail of 1972 to manage the Science and Technology Program for "his" '73 NCC in New York. Three years later, during the Nation's Bicentennial Year, I have returned to serve as Conference Chairman of "my own" '76 NCC. This conference was carefully planned as a profound educational experience for all in attendance. We used an innovative approach throughout to make it a Landmark Event long to be remembered. Our programmatic activities include many unusual events such as hands-on demonstrations in computer networking, student computer projects from all over the country, computer graphics art exhibits from all over the world. We obtained some entirely new materials for our science film theater and we tailored special programs for the convenience of the handicapped.
