ABSTRACT

This chapter provides guidelines specific to speaking at conferences, symposiums, online conferences, poster presentations, research meetings, and other events, as well as the option of registering with speaker booking agencies. Special tricks are offered for those who are nervous about public speaking, prefer to start slow, or both. The chapter includes helpful resources, including a bonus online eResource that lists many speaking opportunities in an electronic file that makes it easy to find and pursue specific speaking engagements. A closing exercise guides the reader in crafting a plan for a conference/event presentation.
