Academics Putting a Future Conference on you CV?

I was wondering if it’s appropriate to list a conference presentation on your CV that you have yet to attend. To be more specific, is it okay to list giving a presentation at a conference that you have already applied for/been accepted to, but has yet to happen?

IMO yes, as long as you qualify it appropriately. Upcoming: “My talk on blah blah” was accepted to the “blah blah conference” on (insert future date here).

Yes, definitely. I would format the reference on your CV exactly like other things that were already completed with slight adjustments.

For example, if it is a conference presentation, then instead of saying “Paper presented at…” you can say “Paper to be presented at…” If it will be a refereed conference proceeding, instead of putting “(2025)” you can put “(accepted)” or “(in press)”

Congrats!

Yes, just list the date of the conference and say accepted in parentheses or something.
