Hello, here's my blog draft for how to write a successful conference proposal.

I'm open to your ideas about content.

When the CFP link for the 2025 conference is available, I'd like to add this at the end as a call to action. I'm also happy to mention it the start of the blog post if you like.

Note: in the earlier draft I briefly mentioned public speaking skills, I've chosen to instead focus on the conference proposal writing only in this blog. Improving at public speaking is such a large topic it could be a separate blog post.

@dondonz I took the liberty of applying the suggestions which were very minor 👍

Hi @benjie I added the Sessionize link to the post, which opened today

Is there anything else you need, or shall we hit publish now?

Thanks again for your work on this @dondonz! We've discussed this at the GraphQL Foundation's Marketing and Content Committee and have opted to publish your post on Tuesday 11th as we think it will be most impactful as a new call to action for people to submit CFPs!
