When preparing a proposal for a conference be sure to read the proposal guidelines closely. Follow the instructions for formatting, word count, and submission criteria. Write an outline or draft of your proposal, ask for feedback from peers, revise your proposal, then submit. Make sure you give yourself at least a week - if not more - for the writing, peer feedback, and revisions. Keep in mind the audience you are preparing this proposal for and make sure that you are presenting your topic to the best of your ability.
