Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how to handle case interviews via video conference. While video conference case interviews weren’t unheard of before, they are much more common right now. By the way, how you make eye contact in a video conference is totally unnatural.

I've spoken professionally at conferences for 25 years. I asked these people if they could imagine three other alternatives that do not include me self-censoring my conference inclusion. Conferences don't always take my proposals.

Conference proposals always have a short abstract. Some conferences, such as the Agile 20xx conferences, also have “Information for the Program Team.” When you go to conferences, what makes you consider a session? You might think the people going to the conference are your audience. Your conference might have track chairs, reviewers, etc. Here are my assumptions about the program committee: They want the conference to be a big success.

Every conference proposal seems to be a little different. The one part every conference requests is the type of session. Not all conferences want all possible session types. In my experience, many conferences offer the opportunity for lightning talks and Pecha Kuchas once they accept your main presentation. Note: Some conferences create an expectation that attendees only have to open their eyes and ears and us speakers can pour great information into their heads.

If your conference proposal has a speaking experience field, use that field to explain your expertise, authority, and credibility. These fields help the potential audience realize your session is the one they must attend, out of the entire conference. I want to be the reason people come to a conference. I iterate on my bio just like I iterate on everything else in a conference proposal. Many conferences ask for a 100-word bio. Then, maybe regional conferences.

Think about a conference presentation you enjoyed. Here are two things that have been true for me in my 25 years as a professional speaker: I can't depend on anyone evaluating my session for the conference to understand what I mean. And, some conferences are so impressed with themselves that they love jargon. I tend not to propose anything for those conferences. You need to play the conference game.

I'm a shepherd for the XP2019 and Agile2019 conferences. If you're trying to write a proposal for a conference or have an agile story you want to tell, consider framing the story this way: Start with the problems. If you're proposing a new talk or a workshop, consider One Startling Sentence for conference proposals: First sentence: What's the problem? Whatever you write for a conference proposal, start with the problems.

Consultants who make money speak at conferences. A conference that required international travel asked me to speak as a track talk about 45 days in advance. They paid coach airfare and my hotel room for the entire conference because it was a track talk. No hotel reimbursement before or after the two days of the conference. I speak at conferences to explore new ideas and gain clients. Notice that I didn't count the conference registration.

On behalf of the many who have suffered through pointless and painful conference calls, some general principles: When in doubt, don''t have one. 10 minutes is the maximum length of a conference call. That''s not a meeting and all the trappings of a conference call detract from the thing you were trying to do. Before you waste a thousand dollars of company time on another conference call, listen to Al''s book for $4.

If you’ve ever joined more than three people on a Skype or Zoom conference call, I hope you’ll appreciate these tips, and perhaps share them: Sit close to the screen. Your face should fill most of it. Use an external microphone or headset. When you’re not talking, hit mute. Don’t eat during the meeting. When you’re on mute during an audio call, you can do whatever you want.
