Instructions for Presenters and Session Chairs

Each talk is scheduled for 20 minutes, including 15 minutes of presentation and 5 minutes of questions. Please ensure the transition time from one talk to another is taken into account.

The session chair is responsible for: keeping the session on schedule, introducing speakers, and moderating the question time. Session chair should arrive a few minutes early to check on room and equipment set-up. Please let the conference organizers know immediately if problems arise. Please adhere to the scheduled order of talks as well as presentation times. If a speaker is absent, we ask you to announce a short break until the next presentation is due to start. Do not start early, as participants may be moving between sessions/presentations. If a session is without a chair, we ask the last scheduled speaker to perform those duties.
