As an example, for a talk on Argo CD, I preferably want people with some basic Kubernetes knowledge as I don't want to use my time to explain YAML syntax or what the `kubectl` command is. I will mention that I will introduce Argo CD and the benefits of using it with a GitOps patterns. The attendees will go back home or to their offices knowing how to get started, and some of the basic features they need to be successful.

So with that in mind, you can craft an abstract that is, as a reminder, basically your sales pitch. It needs to resonate with the conference organizers, but also with the attendees as this is what will be shown on the event agenda. I suggest you write something between 500 and 1000 characters, closer to the minimum suggested here. If it's too long, most people won't read it all, and even some submission form will have lower character limits. When that happen, I start from my original abstract remove the less important part of it, or do the exercise of writing it better.
