For the K-12 professional impacted by this huge new law, there isn't anything quite like this Summit anywhere I've seen on the internet. And yeah, bragging rights: concept, development, execution, that was all me. But without many key colleagues, it'd have been impossible
- A truly engaged and enthusiastic Assistant Managing Editor
- An art department who worked way ahead to support a project that wasn't on the books for FY17
- A publisher and boss who were willing to let me build it to see if they'd come
- A staff of researchers, bloggers, and editors who supported our lead reporters at a moment's notice when I asked this week for their participation
- A top notch production team who brought the notion of using a platform intended for job fairs to life with editorial content, and lastly,
- 4,267 registered used, and 1,300+ live participants in the 90 minutes of discussions that kicked off the day.
Now it's onto the live webinar, another hour of interaction and ideas exchange with our readers, and then the final reporter wrap.
