Hello all,
so.. I will be presenting at a my first ever conference on 26th-27th October in another country, but only got told last week that I have been selected. I was thinking of simply not attending, yet today I received an email telling me that the foreign minister of that country is going to deliver an opening speech on the first day (my session is on the second day). I have not written anything/nor written anything/researched because I thought they had not chosen me. Is it still possible to come up with a paper? Should cancel? I really want to go, but I am worried I might make a fool of myself. HELP!
