Brian Marick gives advice on getting invited to talk.
How do you go about getting invited to speak at conferences? The other day Brian Marick mentioned that his conference submissions seldom get rejected. I was curious so I asked him why. He mentioned several reasons included the fact that he usually gets invited to speak!
My own track record for speaking at conference is abysmal, so I asked for his advice and he kindly wrote a two blog posts in response: here and here. Both are great articles with concrete advice, and well worth reading.
