Thank you for joining the #ESNinfo twitter chat today! See you in Kansas City for the @MidwestNursing conference!

@BLSnyderRN A6: What a great way to casually network too! #ESNinfo

@ChelsiOhReilly A6: Bring LOTS AND LOTS of pushpins. You will make friends then, too. :) #ESNinfo

Q6: Last question! Any tips for traveling with posters? #ESNinfo

@kellu A3: So has my mirror! That tends to work best for me. #ESNinfo

A3: Practice! My dog has heard every one of my presentations, but so have many of my colleagues. #ESNinfo

Q5: What are the best resources for creating impactful presentations? #ESNinfo

@sarahoerther Agreed! It's always awkward when you forget what you were supposed to say next when relying on memorization. #ESNinfo

@ChelsiOhReilly A4: Memorizing a presentation can help to make you feel more prepared, but an overly memorized presentation isn’t too much fun to sit through. #ESNinfo

Q4: What do you wish someone had told you about creating presentations? #ESNinfo

@DrSalliePNP Agreed! #ESNinfo

@ChelsiOhReilly I took a design workshop once and they said that using the same font through-out is important or it will look like a 'ransom note' #ESNinfo

Q1: What are some great qualities of poster/podium presentations you have seen? #ESNinfo

Q3: What are strategies to prepare for the oral component of a presentation? (e.g., how to prepare your speech, what to say while you are standing by your poster, how to get attention of passers-by, etc.) #ESNinfo

@ChelsiOhReilly A2: Relax! We are all here to learn. It's easiest to present and understand presentations when it feels like a natural dialogue. #ESNinfo

@kendra_kamp @ChelsiOhReilly A2 - rule of threes #ESNinfo so people learn/remember content better

@ChelsiOhReilly A2: Putting lots of small font on a slide and then during the presentation saying “I know this is small font” #ESNinfo

@BLSnyderRN @ChelsiOhReilly @JonasImpact Agreed. And don't be afraid of white space. It helps content stand out. #ESNinfo

@ChelsiOhReilly A1: Know your audience! You might need to give more context at @MNRS conf than if you are presenting at your professional org's annual conference. #ESNinfo

Q2: What are some pitfalls of poster/podium presentations that should be avoided? #ESNinfo

@ChelsiOhReilly I think one of the most important qualities is concise wording and logical flow! #ESNinfo

@ChelsiOhReilly Organized, uncluttered posters with clear graphics/tables are best! What do you think @SigmaNursing @JonasImpact ? #ESNinfo

@ChelsiOhReilly A1: I always appreciate posters that actually have white space and aren't over-crowded with words! #esninfo
