Join us as we explore what we need to know about selecting a conference, writing an abstract, and choosing a format for the presentation.

In this workshop, Prof Mutch will share how to choose a conference relevant to your research interests, how to write a good abstract, and the advantages and disadvantages of different formats (paper, poster, roundtable, symposium).

PGSA will have some refreshments. Please bring your lunch with you so we can enjoy a networking lunch after the workshop.
