Workflow

Presentation Workflow

Paper accepted -> Identify key messages -> Create slide outline -> Design slides -> Practice timing -> Prepare Q&A backup slides

Poster Workflow

Paper accepted -> Choose layout template -> Extract key content -> Design poster -> Print test at reduced size -> Final print

Promotion Workflow

Paper accepted -> Write Twitter thread -> Create LinkedIn post -> Draft blog post -> Schedule posts around conference dates

Best Practices

Presentation

• Start with the "so what" - why should the audience care
• Tell a story: problem -> insight -> solution -> impact
• Use concrete examples and demos when possible
• Anticipate questions and prepare answers
• Arrive early to test equipment

Poster

• Design for scanning, not reading
• Use visual hierarchy to guide the eye
• Include a "elevator pitch" summary
• Bring business cards or QR codes
• Practice a 2-minute and 5-minute explanation

Promotion

• Post within 1-2 weeks of acceptance notification
• Coordinate timing with co-authors
• Engage with comments and questions
• Share across multiple platforms
• Include accessible descriptions for figures

Summary

This skill provides a comprehensive post-acceptance workflow covering three key areas: presentation slides, academic posters, and promotional content. Following these guidelines helps researchers effectively communicate their work at conferences and to the broader community.
