Instructions to Session Chairs

  1. Please be on time. Just before the session begins, briefly introduce yourself and explain the timing system to the audience.
  2. Start the session on time. Announce the first abstract and author when the monitor timing system signals the beginning of the talk.
  3. Strictly adhere to the timing signals. Speakers must be asked to stop when their allotted time is up.
  4. Please check the Corrigenda and program agenda for your session. If a presentation has been withdrawn or should a speaker fail to appear, allow the preceding discussion to continue, or suspend the session until it is time for the next scheduled abstract. You may allow a speaker who misses his scheduled time, to speak at the end of the session if time allows.
  5. All meeting rooms will have a student volunteer to assist you with running the session.
