Most of us start graduate school with a lot of passion about academia and science, but zero practical knowledge about how it actually works. It takes time to get familiar (and that's fine, we don't have to know everything from our mother's womb :) ).
My first conference presentation was at the end of my third year. Before-after that period, I started to read some books. These books helped me here and there with small tips.
I am listing some books for early-career PhD students. These may help you too if you are not that much familiar with academic professional environment. The books are designed to help in searching for academic jobs, but they provide information on "how to present in a conference", "how to write an email", "how to ask for help (cold email)". Hope it helps!
