I am going to two conferences, one at the end of this month in Virginia and one at the start of November in San Antonio. I don't mind traveling, but the planning and filling out all the travel grant paperwork is horrible!

I don't envy the mountain of paperwork, but I hope you enjoy the conferences! Are you presenting at either of them, or only attending?

Presenting at one -- which will be my first time presenting at a conference!

Well damn! How nervous are you feeling? I’m sure you’ll kill it

I am feeling fine now but I haven't made the slides yet so it's probably an oblivious sort of confidence :)

I have done a fair bit of public speaking, so at least that part isn't going to be too bad. Mostly I need to get used to the presentation-with-slides format since I'm mostly familiar with the classroom-lecture format instead.
