Giving a (poster) presentation
When a researcher wants to participate in a conference, he or she usually needs to respond to a call for papers of the designated conference. Depending on the number of submitted papers, the acceptation rate of the conference and the quality of the article, the researcher is either rejected, accepted to give a presentation or accepted to give a poster presentation. Keynote speakers are usually asked and therefore do not need to respond to a paper call.
When a paper is accepted the researcher can start preparing a presentation or poster presentation.
