How to write a Session Abstract, to get chosen to speak
summary
Practical checklist for getting chosen: state a one-line title (~10 words), use Sessionize for title/abstract/notes/bio, and put audience, prerequisites, and 2–4 clear learning objectives in the abstract. Spellcheck the text, attach a recent professional photo, and add links to prior runs or recordings in the private notes so organizers can verify delivery. Offer format options (30 vs 60 vs 90 minutes) and be explicit about level (e.g., 200) so reviewers and attendees know what to expect.
