3. Presentation Selecting a presentation site Attending presentations of others Presenting your own research Organizing presentations (of your own and the research of others)

4. The lifecycle of a presentation Proposal to present Preparation to present Presentations Post-presentation

5. Functions of conferences A way of finding out about what others are doing Part of the process of making your own work more widely available Part of the process of becoming a member of a research/practice community A source of deadlines: guilt as a motivator for getting work done (my favorite function :-) A set of excuses to leave home and to go to nice places

6. Functions (continued) a place for job seeking/job searching to find out what people in the office next to your own are doing. You have to go at least 1000 miles to find out about research that people in your department or elsewhere in your own organization are doing once you're at a conference, you're away from your office and aren't interrupted by meetings, phone calls, etc.

7. Functions (continued again) To make you angry. To make you say "I could do better than that!" so that you go back and use that to motivate your own research. To get news, gossip, etc. about the field To get feedback on your own presentation Letting others know about new, ongoing research - preview of what's coming up Learn the politics of the field Learn from the venders / get from the venders Give you new ideas, new lesson plans, etc. Feel like a professional / energizes you

8. Post-conference Completing and sharing notes of the conference Sending requests for papers Modifying your conference paper to submit for publication, incorporating any feedback you've received

9. Breaktime! Next Wednesday's snacks by Lara & Ruth Thanks for today's snacks to Daniel & Melissa K.
