What are conference organizers looking for in a proposal/abstract? This workshop answers that question, detailing how to write an effective proposal/abstract and how to prepare your conference paper. We'll also discuss the dos and don'ts of giving conference presentations, including tips on how to keep your audience's attention, how to invite good questions, and how to avoid being that presenter who ruins a panel for everyone else.
