Live Event: Tips for Presenting at a Conference

  • Registration Closed

Webinar Description

Presenting at a conference - whether local or national - can be anxiety-inducing and may seem overwhelming. While newcomers may be intimidated by the prospect of presenting in front of a group of “experts” in their field of study, conferences are a great resource when it comes to networking and introducing their research to the public. In this interactive webinar, we invite all to learn about the expectations and outcomes of presenting at a conference.

  • Gain an understanding of expectations when presenting at a conference
