Conference papers are an excellent way to "test the waters" of your work. Delivering a conference paper will allow you to gain feedback from colleagues and scholars in the field prior to delivering a manuscript to be published. Think of the conference as a first step in peer review. Additionally, some conferences will ask for your paper to be submitted to their own publication.
