title: Preparing the conference paper.
abstract: Presentations at many psychology and psychiatry conferences are ponderous monologues overfilled with information in a format designed for readers, not listeners. Seven ways are suggested to improve the conference paper, and in doing so, to improve the chances of survival (or at least the quality of life) of those who attend them.
