Getting invitations is also a lot about knowing people. When you go to conferences, introduce yourself to people. Ask them about their research and tell them about yours. If you have common interests, then they are more likely to invite you to speak in their seminar or future conference session. | |
| Jun 22, 2012 at 5:08 | comment | added | Dan C | @Bravo You can definitely invite yourself to give a talk in a seminar. I have done this successfully many times. Most seminar organizers are generally looking for speakers. The key is to offer, without presuming they will accept. Be flexible about when you can come. And when you do get invited, work very hard preparing your talk, to ensure that you'll give a good talk. The web has lots of great advice on giving talks, but most of it boils down to (1) think hard about who your audience will be and what will benefit them (2) organize your ideas clearly in advance and practice. | |
