Are you upset about the insignificant results?
Depending on your domain, you don't have to be. Sometime you can dig into there and find gems.

"all of them are supposed to be significant" means that according to your hypotheses development?

First, "only acceptable" is not too bad. Right?

Second, could you make sense of these results without going back to your hypotheses development? Could you think of alternative explanations? Try to think of concrete examples rather than diving into alternative theories again. You may find something counter-intuitive or surprising, which would be even better. That would go to the discussion part (depending on your research areas)?

Third, ask friends who have no idea of your research. Put your hypotheses to plain language and see how they react and ask them why they think so, under the condition that your research can be "translated" rather easily.

Good luck!

Certainly, you should make sure that the current results are robust in terms of computation.

Great! Good luck with the conference!

I won't be able to travel after April, but probably will go to one small conference in March, which is sort of home-conference for me. Am in the process of submitting something to a journal. :-)
