Instructions for Speakers and Session Chairs

In advance of a session, Session Chairs and Speakers should meet in the respective session room.

  •  Speakers should bring their presentation slides in some computer readable medium (preferably a USB memory stick).
  •  Speakers should hand over the media with the presentation at least 15 minutes before the session starts in order to minimize the switching time from one speaker to the next speaker.
  •  Session Chairs and Speakers of the morning sessions should try to meet and install the presentations the previous day where possible; afternoon sessions should try to meet and install the presentations over lunch time at the latest.

  • Speakers

    Please attend the session room 15 minutes before the session starts.

  •  Speakers will have 25 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions.
  •  Speakers will have at their disposal:
  •  A computer projector;
  •  A computer plugged to the projector; with Microsoft Power Point, and Acrobat Reader installed.

  • Session Chairs

    Please attend the session room 15 minutes before the session starts.

  •  Please plan with your speakers how to introduce them to the audience, and remind them of the time limits for the presentations.
  •  Please note that the session time schedule has to be strictly adhered to. Please enforce strict time limits: 25 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions.
  •  Presentations should start at the times originally scheduled, as indicated in the conference program. In case a presentation does not take place (e.g., the speaker does not show up), please do not shift forward the remaining talks; you may, however, allow more time for preceding speakers.
