Benjamin Bischoff: Public Speaking and Procrastination - How to Speak at Conferences
summary
Describes a reproducible workflow: use testingconferences.org and PaperCall to find CFPs, submit unfinished abstracts to multiple conferences, track submissions in a spreadsheet, and prepare both 45‑minute and 23‑minute versions; keep first‑ and third‑person bios and prior‑talk links in one document. Emphasizes practical rules: white‑label presentations for reuse, bring your own clicker, rehearse alone, and note acceptance is optional; speaking history begins 2009 and peaks in 2024.
