This document provides tips for writing an effective conference abstract. It recommends keeping the abstract concise (250-300 words), following a formula of including the topic, title, author(s), motivation, problem statement, approach, results, and conclusions. Key details to include are the research question, methodology, findings (whether expected or unexpected), and significance. The abstract should be relevant to the conference theme and grab readers' attention. It should be edited after time away and submitted early to allow for review. Presenting research at a conference can provide feedback, attention, and opportunities for collaboration.
