Abstract Creation 101

The hunt for ODTUG Kscope25 Customer Speakers is on! For those who haven't created a presentation abstract in a while (or at all), here's a quick summary on how to prepare. 

A strong abstract is crucial for attracting interest and getting selected for conference presentation. Here are some key elements that make a good abstract:

1. Clear Title: A concise, descriptive title that captures the essence of the presentation.
   
   
2. Objective: Clearly state the purpose of your presentation. What problem or question are you addressing? Or, if you’re presenting a case study, explain what it’s about (for example, Customer Saves Tons of Money by Implementing Awesome Oracle Solution)
   
   
3. Background: Briefly provide context or background information to help the audience understand the relevance of your topic. **Please note, a speaker bio is required with each abstract submission.**
   
   
4. Methodology: When applicable, outline the methods or approaches used, criteria, trials/errors, etc.
   
   
5. Results: What were the key outcomes / results / takeaways? Highlight “things everyone wants” like efficiency gains, resource and cost savings, do more with less, look like a rockstar, etc.
   
   
6. Conclusion/Implications: Summarize the implications, resulting value, learnings, and potential future opportunities around your topic.
   
   
7. Clarity and Conciseness: Use clear, straightforward language.
   
   
8. Engagement: Suggest ways your presentation will engage the audience, whether through interactive elements, case studies, or practical applications.

As you're reviewing your ideas, consider these elements and criteria to enhance your chances of being selected as a presenter. When you're ready, head over to the Kscope Abstract Submission Portal.
