Sad news.  The last time I attended a conference was in NOLA when Alan was the big kahuna :) but have participated in the data gathering for the Horizon report and enjoy reading it each year.

Subject: All good things must come to an end... Re: Fwd: NMC To Cease Operations

The New Media Consortium (NMC) regrets to announce that because of apparent errors and omissions by its former Controller and Chief Financial Officer, the organization finds itself insolvent.  Consequently, NMC must cease operations immediately.
 
NMC would like to sincerely thank our loyal and dedicated community for its many vital contributions since its inception in 1994. NMC is grateful to its current executive director and NMC staff for their tireless efforts to connect people at the intersection of innovation and technology.
 
NMC will be promptly commencing a chapter 7 bankruptcy case.  A trustee will be appointed by the court to wind down NMC’s financial affairs, liquidate its assets and distribute any net proceeds to creditors.  The case will be filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California.
 
Please understand that NMC’s assets may be sold as part of the bankruptcy process and another entity, potentially a nonprofit, may yet go forward with our summer conference.  Nevertheless, before sending any payment for 2018, please contact our counsel Reno Fernandez at
(415) 362-0449 ext. 204, and he will connect you with the trustee once he or she is appointed.

Sorry to hear this!  I have been to the NMC a couple of times and really enjoyed it.  The Horizon Reports were something that I also followed on a regular basis.

Bryan Alexander is getting together a Slack group to determine what to do with the half complete Horizon Report and brainstorm next steps. See blog post:
