Do you dream of speaking at a conference? You want to share your successes-and maybe your failures.

Conference committees accept proposals they understand. Those same committees reject confusing proposals.

You can write a clear proposal. Use the tips in this book to:

• Start with the real outcomes. Not a promise for an outcome, but what people will learn.
• Create a compelling one-paragraph abstract.
• Choose a title that invites the reader into your session.
• Connect to your readers with your bio.

Increase your chances with the program committee. Craft a proposal the conference committee can understand and accept.
