This book provides a step-by-step journey to giving a successful
academic conference presentation, taking readers through all of the
potential steps along the way-from the initial idea and the
abstract submission all the way up to the presentation itself.
Drawing on the author's own experiences, the book highlights good
and bad practices while explaining each introduced feature in a
very accessible style. It provides tips on a wide range of issues
such as writing up an abstract, choosing the right conference,
negotiating group presentations, giving a poster presentation, what
to include in a good presentation, conference proceedings and
presenting at virtual or hybrid events. This book will be of
particular interest to graduate students, early-career researchers
and non-native speakers of English, as well as students and
scholars who are interested in English for Academic Purposes,
Applied Linguistics, Communication Studies and generally speaking,
most of the Social Sciences. With that said, because of the book's
theme, many of the principles included within will appeal to broad
spectrum of academic disciplines.

opportunity for Black professional progress, how to understand and
overcome racial stereotypes, be productive, find purpose, and
ultimately thrive in business. Authors Opeyemi and Raphael Sofoluke
explore their own personal brand of ethics, the challenges they
have faced in their careers, and the learnings they took from them,
before inviting other successful business people in a broad range
of industries to share their experiences and the practical measures
they take to realise their goals, too. Featuring tips on
entrepreneurship, as well as insights on the corporate world, this
book aims to empower and inspire Black professionals, get everyone
