The chairās mission is to ensure a stimulating atmosphere in order to maintain the energy level in each session. You should clearly show your interest in the papers presented and encourage the conference participants to take part in discussions and debates.
- Chairs are advised to review the most updated version of the program just before the chaired session. This will ensure that the chairs are aware of the latest list of presenters in the session, as there might be last-minute cancellations. Online program will be updated in real time.
- Chairs are kindly suggested to introduce themselves to the presenters in advance of the session and inform them of the need for starting and finishing on time. If there is any question as to the proper pronunciation of the presenterās name the chair is advised to clarify with the presenter at this time.
- A kind reminder for chairs to introduce themselves and the theme of the session. This introduction should take no more than 2-3 minutes.
- Chairs should introduce each speaker giving their name, affiliation, and title of the presentation. Chairs should not take up presenterās time with unnecessary comments or other remarks beyond the simple introduction.
- Chairs are responsible for keeping the presenter on time. Please follow the digital timer provided in the room to control the time. Politely interrupt the speaker if required to enforce the time limit.
