Webinar “I don’t have anything to talk about”

Watch the presentation here.

Have you set a goal to do your first conference presentation this year but don’t know what to talk about? Join us for advice on what makes a good submission and how to explore the thought process from “I have nothing to say” to working through and realising you have multiple topics on which you could present.
