Creating Successful Conference Proposals

WHAT: Creating Successful Conference Proposals

If you’ve ever thought about presenting at a conference, this presentation aims to give you the tools you need to get started.  Three archivists will speak about their experiences with conference proposals, both as presenters and as a program committee member, with time for Q&A.  Following that, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss their ideas for sessions and connect with potential presenting partners.

What you will learn:

• How to choose a topic and find other presenters
• How to put together the submission
• What makes for a strong proposal
• What criteria are program committees looking for in submissions
