INSTRUCTIONS FOR SESSION CHAIRS

There is no provision for uploading presentations in the conference rooms. Please view the information concerning the Presentation System.

During the presentation
Each presenter will have 15 minutes for their presentation, followed by 5 minutes for questions.

Please briefly introduce each speaker and keep to time, so that talks later in the session are not squeezed or rushed, and to allow participants to move between sessions. The timing of the speaker's 15 minute presentation is to be managed by a card system:

Green card: 5 Minutes remaining
Yellow card: 2 Minutes remaining
Red card: STOP

These cards will be available in the conference rooms, and spares are available from the registration desk.

Summary of responsibilities
The session chairs will need to:

  1. Visit the Media Room early to become familiar with its operation
  2. Before your session, check with the Media Room, on the status of papers in your session, to ensure they have been uploaded. Also check the availability of red/yellow cards in your conference room
  3. Meet your presenters in the room before the session, so you know them by sight.
  4. Briefly introduce your session by title, and room
  5. Briefly introduce each paper by title, presenter and authors
  6. Present the green, yellow and red cards at the appropriate times, showing the green and yellow cards to the speaker, and the red card to speaker and audience
In the event of trouble with the system, dispatch someone to contact the Personnel in the Media Room.
