Sell YourOverall Concept
But address the problem by solving ONE piece at a time

Make It Easy for EVERYONE to Understand Your Area of Expertise• How:
– Develop an easy-to-understand explanation of your research (something to carry away)
• For example:
– “I do deception detection.”DeceptionDeceptionDetectionDetection

Demos and Real Sessions
• Convince sponsors your research is real
• It exists and can be used
• Use realistic, nontrivial examples
• It’s not “vapor” or “hype”
