    Pre-conference: Reaching Policy Insiders in the Digital Age  (Edison AB)
    Reaching the right decision-makers is a constant challenge for those seeking to influence policy—especially as the communications environment grows increasingly cluttered and complex. Featuring findings from National Journal’s Washington in the Information Age research series, we’ll examine the news and information sources that DC insiders trust and rely on, and explore the role of social media in informing policy perspectives.

    Pre-conference: Visual Abstracts and Research Dissemination  (Edison AB)
    Communicating research to a non-research audience in the digital age can be a challenge. This session will introduce the audience to visual abstracts – a social media friendly method for disseminating research findings. More than 75 journals and institutions have adopted the visual abstract as part of their dissemination strategy, including: the CDC, BMJ, JAMA and NEJM.

    Participants will learn the answers to these and other questions: What are visual abstracts? What is the evidence for their use? What are their key elements? What resources are needed to create them effectively? What are the most common follies in creating them?

    Participants will have an opportunity to develop their own visual abstract, to learn about the process hands-on, and to discuss with colleagues what makes some work better than others. This workshop will lead participants through a step-by-step process for creating visual abstracts, including an introduction to using available resources for producing them.
