This opportunity is simply to good too pass up. Matt Miller , the DBC Inc. author of Ditch That Textbook, has
put together an unbelievable professional development virtual conference and has talked a world class line-up of speakers into contributing. And here’s the most amazing part…in an act of absolute lunacy, he has made it 100% free to register and participate!

It is appropriately called, The Ditch That Textbook Digital Summit.

There will be one presentation each day from December 16th through December 24th. No need to travel anywhere, no need to dress up, and no need to watch the videos live. One video will be released each day and you have until December 31st to watch. Watch them in your pajamas if you want to…we won’t tell a soul.

So who did Matt convince to be a part of this?
