Successful Proposal
Keep in Mind:
When completing the workshop proposal:
a) all workshop presenters are asked to comment on their relevant work experience, as well as experience making similar presentations.
b) care must be given to ensure that the written description of the workshop matches what you actually cover in your workshop (we have received several comments in recent evaluations that the two did not match).
