Hi everyone,

Just a friendly reminder that the call for proposals for the 5th Open Textbook Summit, May 24-25, 2017 at SFU Harbour Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada) closes on January 20! I encourage you all to promote this widely across your networks and also, think about teaming up to present a workshop.

You can submit a proposal here:

https://open.bccampus.ca/open-textbook-summit-2017-call-for-proposals/

The submission categories are

• Paper Presentation Sessions (30 minutes)
• Workshop Sessions (60 minutes). Workshop sessions must have a hands-on, practical application component related to one of the Summit topics within the context of Open Textbooks.

The confirmed Keynote Speakers for the 2017 Open Textbook Summit are:

• Ryan Merkley, CEO Creative Commons
• Kory Wilson, Executive Director, Aboriginal Initiatives and Partnerships at BCIT

I look forward to seeing some proposals from BC! Lots of proposals coming in from abroad, but we would really like to showcase our own!

Cheers,
