[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one pays retail for those conferences. Submit a paper. There's a reason the acceptance rate is so high.

Depending on the conferene, an accepted presentation may mean free admission. If not, at most places, getting a paper accepted = your employer will pay for you entry fee, since you need to present.[/quote]

Okay? My day to day job does not involve work conducive to a paper, so I just whip up a white paper on “folding widgets in a stressful environment “?   Still kind of a lot of effort to go to conf, are people really mostly doing that?[/quote]

Read the program or proceedings from last year's conference and you can get an idea of the rigor. A lot of conferences have a mix like some do presenatations or run a symposium, and other formats are submitted a paper that jsut gets filed in the proceedings or there's a poster session. The latter often has a really high acceptance rate, so look at those from last year to get an idea of the caliber.

An easy way if you aren't doing research is to do a "meta" paper on existing research on the topic and summarize that, perhaps empirically. That's a cop-out (ok, it does have some value) I see some people do.[/quote]
