What is Nett Day?
Established in 2010, Nett Day at Northeastern Illinois University is an event that celebrates technology, the way in which we interact with it and how we use it to improve society. On this day we have keynote speakers and workshops that make us think about human interaction with technology, as well as give us hands-on experience with new ways of using technology to interact with the world.
