Hi folks,
No longer in academia but considering putting in an abstract to plug my forthcoming book at an academic conference next summer. I have only ever done individual presentations but the most appropriate theme for me falls under 'working groups'. There's no detail on the conference website about what this is and I never attended these 'working groups' at conferences. So can anyone tell me what it is? Is it just like a normal session with say 3 or 4 individual presenters or is it more a roundtable sort of thing but you still give your presentation only sitting at a round table. I haven't got a notion so if anyone knows can you give me the heads up? Ta, folks.

Conferences are not an appropriate place to 'plug' a book- unless you are paying to sponsor the conference!

At the conferences I've been to, most people are there to plug something they've done!
