Abstract: Have you ever worked hard on preparing for a conference proposal only to be rejected?
With 2500 attendees and 300+ speakers, the Agile conference is the largest of its kind. Getting accepted as a speaker is a challenge and an honor, as over 600 proposals were submitted for 2017. Good luck with that! It’s tough getting accepted, and we’ve tallied up numerous, stinging rejections.
We can help! Improve your odds by following our patent-pending, highly collaborative approach for drafting a proposal. And since you’re reading this… it worked!
This presentation provides a path to getting your proposal accepted using a variety of Agile toolbox techniques. You'll learn about collaborative brainstorming, story mapping, proposal writing, building out and ultimately delivering the presentation. These techniques address the barriers to entry that can constrain potential future thought leaders--like you--from finding an audience.
Learning Outcomes: - Demonstrate how collaborative writing can be an effective tool for getting a talk approved
- Understand how to iterate on Kent Beck’s success as he describes in “How to Get a Paper Accepted at OOPSLA”
