Onsite General Guidelines
Chairpersons
Strongly recommended: Make sure to finish the session on time.
- Introduce the speaker briefly (name, institute/organization) – unfortunately there is not enough time to give a detailed background history of the speaker.
- Remind the speaker that he/she has a total of XXX minutes per presentation (see presentation and discussion times below).
Please be aware that an important part of your task is to keep the speakers on time. We have an extremely tight schedule to keep, and the organisers are relying on you to keep the sessions in schedule. You are authorised to be ruthless in keeping speakers on time.
