An abstract is used in several different fields and industries, but it\u2019s most often found in the worlds of research, academia and business. An abstract allows the reader to get a quick overview of the main points of a longer document, such as a research paper, a dissertation or a business plan. It\u2019s therefore a useful tool for helping people to get up to speed with your work quickly. Abstracts are also used to summarize conference presentations. A conference abstract is effectively a pitch document that explains why your speech would be of value to the audience at that particular conference \u2013 and why they need to hear it from you rather than anyone else!<\/p>

Conference organizers need to be able to effectively communicate what the event is about, who should attend and what each speaker will be talking about.
