In this episode, Mark and I chat about:
1) Let’s say someone’s considering making a shift from conference attendee to speaker. What does
getting on the stage do for you and your career?
2) You have an idea for a session you’d like to pitch, how do you format your submission to have the
best possible chance of being accepted? Themes or trends that tend to be more successful?
3) How important is your bio when submitting to a conference? Does being known for a line of work
improve your chances of being accepted?
