Presenting at professional conferences is an ideal way for graduate students to develop professionally and to demonstrate their research and publication skills. Conference participation provides young scholars with a chance to make useful connections, to communicate research findings to the larger community of professionals, and to impress potential employers. This workshop will provide helpful insights toward preparing for and giving a conference presentation. Topics include such considerations as the purpose of the presentation, the audience, the rhetorical goals, the conference paper outline and conducting academic interview talks.
