Few reasons you must participate. The first is that we think this conference will help you grow [as a person, student, scholar, whatever applies.] The second is that we truly believe you have something to contribute: by being there, you can bring unique insight, perspective, and a positive, collaborative attitude.”
The best speakers have a unique personality on stage. Anyone can read from a textbook or memorize a script, but the real magic comes through when speakers adopt a unique voice, stage entrance or presence.
