At the end of the day, a great CfP is about clarity, relevance, and value. It’s not just about what you want to say—it’s about what your audience needs to hear.
What’s your go-to tip for writing a standout conference proposal? Share your thoughts below! 👇
5️⃣ Leverage Tools Like ChatGPT I’m a big fan of using tools like ChatGPT to refine my writing. It’s fantastic for simplifying complex ideas, improving phrasing, and catching grammar mistakes. It’s like having a second pair of eyes that’s always available!
31.01.2025 11:39 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 04️⃣ Less Is More A good abstract always feels too short to the author. Aim for two to three paragraphs max. Avoid long lists of learning outcomes—they can feel overwhelming and lack context. If the conference asks for learning goals, save those for a separate field (if available).
31.01.2025 11:39 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 03️⃣ Remember, you’re writing for two audiences: the selection committee and the attendees. Both need to be convinced in 30 seconds or less.
31.01.2025 11:39 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 02️⃣ Focus on the "Why", Your abstract should answer one key question: Why should someone attend the session? Instead of diving too deep into what you’ll cover (definitions or background), emphasize the value for the audience. What problem are you solving? What will they gain?
31.01.2025 11:39 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 01️⃣ Title Matters, But Keep It Relevant I’m a fan of concise, topic-driven titles. While catchy, clickbaity titles can grab attention, they often feel disconnected from the actual talk. A clear, relevant title sets the right expectations and helps your audience.
31.01.2025 11:39 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0This week, I had the chance to review a conference proposal (CfP) from one of our talented Champions. It got me thinking about what makes a great abstract and how to stand out in a sea of submissions. Here are a few takeaways that might help you refine your next CfP 🧵

If better AI models reduce your startup’s edge instead of enhancing it, you might be in trouble. Great piece by Lukas Petersson, looking forward to the next parts! lukaspetersson.com/blog/2025/bi...
