Testimonials

“this session is an absolute gift. I highly recommend this program, even if you’ve submitted an abstract before and want a brush up.”

“I did manage to get two abstracts in by the deadline and hope at least one gets up. I couldn’t have done it without your help.”

“Such a wonderful opportunity … I’ve seen a number of people who have dipped their toe into conference presenting and flourished with a little bit of support from their ATEM friends. If you have a kernel of an idea or would love to share some good work, please sign up. Margaret is a fab facilitator and you will gain a lot from this session”

– TEMC 2017 Conference Chair ML Huppatz, July 2021

“I really enjoyed today’s session – both because the content was useful, but also because the environment was so welcoming and supportive.”
