Session guidelines

Speakers can find the location of their session via the maps available on the website. Sessions normally last for 80 minutes and include 4 talks. Therefore, in order to allow time for questions and transition between presentations, all speakers are kindly requested to prepare their presentations to last 15-17 minutes, even if their session includes less than 4 speakers. If the number of speakers is 5, we recommend their presentatios to last 12-14 minutes. As a speaker, you should arrive at the room where your session is to take place well in advance. In case of consecutive sessions, we recommend that speakers arrive before the first of the sessions. Once there, you have to set up your presentation on the room computer.

Session chairs must ensure that their sessions start and end on time, and that presentations are made in the order shown in the official programme. If a speaker does not show up, please keep to the original schedule, in order to facilitate session jumping. If the session chair is absent, the first speaker in the session will replace him/her. Check that all presentations are correctly set up in the computer before the beginning of the session. Let speakers know when they are nearing the end of their presentation time (5 minutes and 1 minute).
