I've presented at many national conferences, but I was recently reminded how helpful a small, regional conference can be when I returned to the <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/columbiahistoryofsciencegroup/speaker-s-guide" rel="nofollow">Columbia History of Science Group (CHSG)</a>. (It's the northwest regional conference, but draws visitors from, let's say, a very broadly interpreted version of the Columbia watershed.) You can get a lot better feedback and build lasting connections more easily in the intimate setting of a regional conference, where everyone hears the same papers. And the CHSG in particular is much more dynamic because read papers are forbidden. <br /><br />The only addition I'd make to your speaking advice is to check out <a href="http://pne.people.si.umich.edu/PDF/howtotalk.pdf" rel="nofollow">Paul Edwards' guide on "How to Give and Academic Talk."</a>Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14981046524698212752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841021836322164369.post-32922180474444672012-04-14T10:35:09.559-05:002012-04-14T10:35:09.559-05:00This is fantastic, Scott.
