Guidelines for Session Chairs

• Please take note of the day/time/venue of the session that you are chairing in the program booklet. On the day of the session that you are chairing, obtain any changes to the program from the Secretariat at the Registration Desk.
• Before the start of the session, collect the biographical information of the presenting authors. Use this information to introduce the speaker before his/her presentation.
• Be present in the room where the session is to be held 10 minutes before the start of the session and check that all the presentations have been copied on the PC provided at the venue.
• Remind the presenting author about the time available for their presentation; see "Instructions to Authors" for details.
• Remind the authors at the 2-minute mark (e.g., at the 15th minute of presentation for regular presentations) to make their concluding remarks. Please ensure that there is sufficient time for discussion.
• In case of "no-show" or if a talk ends early, do not advance the presentations. The additional time can be used for discussions related to papers presented earlier in the session.
