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. Yes, as a potential speaker, you need to show conferences you can offer value. I enjoy it.

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. Am I always?

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?

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.
