I’d add: don’t be a diva. Conference organizers have enough to deal with without drama over your handouts. Be prepared to be flexible.

Speaking isn’t for everyone, but if one is interested there are many paths to success.

Strong voices of all sexes, lib professions (academic, public, or school library) if you have a passion and a voice put in the time & share it.

I also would suggest applying to present at local Library or ISTE affiliate conferences. I did that for 10 years before I dared to go to the “Big Show” of a national venue or before I was asked to keynote or speak!
Cheers!

I’ve missed your words of wisdom. Great nuggets of advice for those that want to pursue a more public role outside library work hours.

I’m glad you found it helpful. There definitely isn’t a one-size-fits-all method. I think picking what you’re really interested in and the conferences that relate to that is a smart move!

It is true that opportunities vary vastly from library to library. As I look into what is my “next step” in the world of librarianship, this helps.

It is true, not all of us can afford the time or money to go to a conference every year. But I have found that targeting what I’m interested really helps.

Great post. Thanks.
