How to present at a conference
It made me
Great when finished.
 "I was nervous but it was worth it in the end. I presented a large national conference."
How I did it: I created a workshop that I would want to attend and then created a presentation proposal. I then waited to see if the proposal was accepted and it was. Lessons & tips: Have handouts. I didn't have handouts and I wish that I did. Also having a powerpoint presentation to accompany the presentation is a must in this day and age. |

How I did it: I presented at a breakout session of the MORHA (Michigan Organization of Residence Hall Associations) 2009 Conference, which included leaders of residence hall associations from across the Great Lakes State.

How I did it: Over the last few years I've realized my passion for teaching and speaking. The primary problem is that in my current work I have less than three years of experience.

This year I presented a talk on survivors of prematurity at our state EMS conference. Read how I did it…

I got the reviewers responses last week, and it doesn’t look like my paper is going to get in this time around. No worries. I’ll just rewrite it a little and resubmit it someplace else in a bit.
Paper submitted

I spent the last month-and-a-half working on a scientific paper for a conference, which I submitted last Friday. As far as I can tell, the paper is not stellar, so it remains to see if they take it.
Either way, I am now quite close to accomplish this goal, since if I get rejected at this conference I can just revise the article a bit and send it someplace else.
