Guidelines for Presenters and Session Chairs

Each presentation has been allocated 15 minutes, with an additional 5 minutes for discussion. Please, keep to the scheduled times so that the conference can run smoothly and participants can attend the talks they wish to see.

Session chairs are asked to adhere strictly to the timetable.

Presenters are requested to upload their presentation to the presentation computer before their session using a USB flash drive.

The presentation computers run Microsoft Windows. Please ensure that your presentation is available in either PowerPoint or PDF format.

Presenters are not permitted to use their own laptops. Presenters are encouraged to test their presentation before the start of their session. Conference staff will be there during the breaks to help.

Presenters should introduce themselves to the Session Chair during the break before the session.

Session Chairs have the responsibility to introduce the speakers, to lead the discussions, and to ensure that the session schedule is observed. Every effort should be made to keep to the 20-minute total time allocation for each presenter to ensure the next talk starts on time. If a session presenter does not show up, the Session Chair should make up for this, as much as possible, by allowing for appropriately extended discussion of the presented papers while maintaining the presentation sequence, and ensuring that the next speaker starts at the publicised time.
