Submitting a talk to a conference is quite overwhelming, even for seasoned speakers and presenters. The CFP process, while often documented, still results in submissions that may make a good idea tough to evaluate by the review team, and eventually they may be rejected. How could a first time submitter to a seasoned pro go about ensuring they share their ideas to the right audience and past muster with the review committee. In this talk we plan to present a general primer on how to make the submission the best it can be, reduce your stress, and ensure that you will have the tools required to confidently present your ideas to the target audience.
