This book is aiming to respond to the following needs: - Many other presentation books on the market are aimed at people in business - this book is aimed specifically at postgraduate research students. - Undergraduate books in the area (such as the author's Palgrave book), do not cover the specifics of presenting at a postgraduate conference - this book does (including writing your abstract, submitting your paper, preparing your presentation and visual aids, speaking to your audience, handling questions). We have an older book which was aimed at this market from Kerry Shepard (2005) that sold nearly 1600 copies, so we could think of this as a replacement for that. - It will be the most up to date book that specifically deals with poster presentations, a very common form of presentation at academic conferences.

Chronological time takes into account your workload, the time of year at which the conference is being held, the travelling involved in getting to the conference and the demands upon your time in the weeks leading up to the event. If you are a researcher rather than a professional, then research time will also be important. Research time would involve contemplating the intellectual prompts to action, such as where you are in your research endeavours, the opinion of your supervisor, and how ready you feel to emerge from your research hive and offer some of your findings to others.
