After a successful conference earlier this year, Australian and New Zealand Testing Board (ANZTB) will be hosting their next ANZTB Test 2010 Conference again next year from 1 – 3 March 2010 in Melbourne, Australia.

If you are interested in presenting at the conference then Abstracts are now being called for 1 hour and 20 minute sessions.

The 1 hour session includes a 45 minute presentation followed by a 10 minute Q&A session.

The 20 minute sessions “have two main purposes. The first is to present new or developing ideas in a concise but informative manner and the second to encourage new presenters and provide them an opportunity to enter the conference circuit.”

I think presenting at the 20 minute session is a great opportunity for someone like me, who has some presentation experience but has never presented in front of a crowd of 150 people. This is a great initiative by ANZTB – helping people come out of their shell.

Fingers crossed – if things go well then I might be presenting there.
