Considerations are generally practical and include:
- The quantity and nature of your research findings - how significant are they? How many people will they impact - researchers in your area of specialization? Or is it a more global impact?
- Your prior experience as a presenter - If you have never presented at a conference before it might be a good idea to get your feet wet by presenting at a local or regional conference where you can practice your presentation, hone your presentation skills, etc. and
- Financial - generally participants must pay a registration fee to attend and if the conference you want to attend is not local you will need to pay for your travel, lodging, and subsistence.
