Step-by-Step Guide: Submitting Your Conference Abstract
Step 1️⃣ Find the Right Conference
- Look up relevant conferences in your field (e.g., AZA, AAZK).
- Make a list of:
- Conference theme/topics, abstract submission deadlines, registration deadlines, submission requirements (word count, format, categories)
- Pick the conference that best aligns with your work and goals.
Step 2️⃣ Pick Your Topic
- Choose a topic that fits the conference theme but also that excites you!
- Ask yourself: Does this relate to the conference focus? How does my work contribute or fit in?
Step 3️⃣ Choose Your Format
- Poster: It’s a beginner-friendly way to share your work visually without needing to present in front of a big audience.
- Oral Presentation: Ideal if you have previous presentation experience and want to share your findings in a talk.
💡 AWS Insider Tip: If this is your first conference, start with a poster—you can always work up to an oral presentation next time!
Step 4️⃣ Draft Your Abstract
- Problem/Question: What are you exploring?
- Method/Approach: How did you do it?
- Key Findings/Insights: What did you learn?
- Takeaway: Why does it matter?
Keep it clear, concise, and accessible. Pay attention to word or character limits.
Step 5️⃣ Revise & Get Feedback
- Ask a colleague, mentor, or peer to review your abstract for clarity and impact.
Step 6️⃣ Submit On Time
- Double-check formatting, attachments, and spelling before submitting.
- Celebrate! 🎉 You’ve officially applied.
💡 AWS Insider Tip:: Even small observations or preliminary studies can make a strong abstract. Focus on what others can learn from your work.
