Not sure how to make your idea shine among the dozens of other conference proposals each year?  Join Ingrid Towey, a seasoned conference speaker and proposal reviewer, as she walks us through how to conceive a great talk idea and how to submit it for success.  In this interactive discussion you'll learn tips and tricks for combining your life's experiences into a proposal that will resonate with audience members and reviewers alike.

Bio:

I have a Master’s degree in Folklore and over 16 years of experience in technical communication, usability testing, and UX. Outside of work I regularly speak to conference audiences and serve on teams that review conference programming. One real joy in my life is seeing how all my experiences are interconnected and how much we can learn from being open to life’s crazy journeys.
