So you’d like to present at a conference
Joe FitzPatrick

So, you’d like to present at a conference? Awesome - but making that decision is just the first step of a long journey. This workshop is primarily intended for people who already have ideas of things to present, but need some help fine-tuning them and understanding the process. We’ll start off in a lecture format covering all the parts of preparing, submitting and presenting your work, answering a lot of questions you might ask yourself. We’ll proceed into an extended question and answer session. Think of your questions ahead of time, and perhaps even ask them before the workshop. Finally, we’ll use the remaining time to team up in groups to share our ideas and give each other feedback. Hopefully you’ll leave with a better idea of how to navigate the process, as well as a clearer idea of how to structure your submission and presentation.
