Learn how to write a short biography for a conference programme.
Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and tips and do the exercises.
Tips
Bios are often written in the third person, especially for conferences, events and books. Social media bios can be less formal and in the first person.
Use your full name in the first sentence and refer to an accomplishment to help people remember who you are. (Julie Wong is a leading researcher … / Best-selling author Terrie Sharp … / Ahmed Modine started his first business at age 14 …)
Keep it short and interesting so people get all the key information before they stop reading.
If the bio is for an event like a conference, only include the details that are relevant to this particular audience. For a general bio, for example on your website, you can provide links for readers to find out more.
One or two personal details (e.g. Julie lives with her family in a smart home she designed herself ... / She learned how to open car doors with a knife. / ... he lost his house and car once) help create interest and a connection with the reader.
Overall, I haven't written to me a short bio, yet. I see it is a useful lesson to know for the future.
I can be written below;
Ugulhan Nab
Ugulhan Nab is a leading researcher in the field of technical documentation. She has been written extensively as technical writer of over 20 instructions in highly regarded, peer-reviewed online platforms. She frequently speaks at international conferences and was awarded the prestigious Comstech fellowship in 2011. Ugulhan lives in abroad.
It's been almost a year since the last time I wrote a bio. I invited a collaborator to present a scientific seminar in my department last spring. Normally, if the speaker is not working at our department there must be a short bio just before the seminar starts. Since I had invited the speaker I presented a short bio of my collaborator. Of course, given the professional atmosphere of the event I spent almost three minutes focusing on the career and activities of the speaker related the topic of the seminar.
I haven't got a chance to write a bios to someone alive, i will be proud of writing it. But I don't know if it's a chance but i wrote the entire bios of my late aunt. It's amazing to sum up the life of the person in some few lines. I was honoured to have been chosen to do it.

Not quite a long time.
I never wrote a bio and I don't even know what it is.
