I should have read this two months ago. Actually my proposal was accepted and I am speaking at the North Carolina Center for Non-profits Conference on Thursday. My title: "Finding the Social Media Platform that Works for You." I followed much of what you detail above without really knowing it. What I typically do is put myself in the mind of the conference attendees and work to write a great summary that makes people feel as though they will actually "learn" something and will miss a great deal if they don't attend. No one wants to hear something they already know. After all, most of us attend conferences to learn. Great advice, Connie. I should have read this two months ago.
