Top Reasons to Speak at ACE 2021

Submission Deadline: 14 January 2021

Speaking at a convention such as the AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition (ACE) can be quite daunting for those with little to no experience with public speaking. Presenting your research, knowledge, ideas, and innovations is not necessarily as easy as it sounds. Communicating concisely, interacting with industry colleagues, and grabbing the attention and engaging the audience is all part of presenting a great talk.

However, submitting your abstracts and becoming a speaker can come with a list of benefits for both your personal and professional development. Here are few reasons to submit abstracts for the upcoming ACE 2021 in Denver, Colorado.
