- Conclusion (1-2)
- Q&A/Thank you (1)
Visual Design Principles
- One key message per slide
- Use figures and diagrams over text
- Consistent color scheme and fonts
- Minimum font size: 24pt for body, 32pt for titles

- Check conference requirements for specific size
Layout Structure
- Title bar (top): Title, authors, affiliations, logos
- Introduction (left): Problem statement, motivation
- Method (center): Key approach, architecture diagram
- Results (right): Main findings, tables, figures

Design Guidelines
- Readable from 4-6 feet distance
- Title font: 72-96pt
- Section headers: 36-48pt
- Body text: 24-32pt
- Use bullet points, not paragraphs

3. Promotion Content Creation
Guidance for creating promotional content after paper acceptance:
Twitter/X Thread
- Thread structure: Hook -> Problem -> Method -> Key Result -> Link
- First tweet: Attention-grabbing summary with emoji
- Include 1-2 key figures
- End with paper link and relevant hashtags
- Tag co-authors and relevant accounts
LinkedIn Post
- Professional tone, 3-5 paragraphs
- Highlight practical implications
- Include key figure or diagram
- Add relevant hashtags
Blog Post
- 800-1500 words
- Non-technical summary for broader audience
- Include figures with explanations
- Link to paper, code, and demo
When to Use
Use this skill in the following scenarios:
- After paper acceptance - Prepare presentation materials for the conference
- Poster session preparation - Design and create academic poster
- Research promotion - Create social media and blog content
- Conference talk preparation - Structure and practice presentation
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.
