Building Confidence: Tips and Tricks for Presenting at Conferences and Beyond

Have you thought about presenting at conferences but concerned you don’t have the experience? Have an idea but not sure how to turn it into a full conference session? Presenting in front of others isn’t easy, but everyone can do it. Presenting at conferences is good for more than just your resume – it gives you the opportunity to meet others, build public speaking skills, and share your knowledge.

This panel will offer you practical advice on how to identify themes and topics, give you the opportunity to network with other library staff and create partnerships for potential co-presenters, and learn public speaking tips that will help even beyond presentations. Participants will workshop topics and concepts for future presentations and leave with at least one new contact and program proposal concept.
