Guidelines for session Chairperson/facilitator/Moderator
IN PERSON
- Try to meet briefly with all presenters before the session begins.
- All presentations have to be uploaded before the session starts (this will be communicated to speakers)
- Introductions must be very brief as they use up precious time for the presentation.
- Check if presenters know how to use audio-visual or other equipment. An AV person will be on standby
- Familiarise yourself beforehand with the content of the papers or abstracts to be presented during the session.
- Note the times allocated for each speaker, and ensure that they know that no time overruns can be allowed.
- Signal the remaining time at 10, 5 and 2 minutes, and firmly end the presentation when time has elapsed. It is disrespectful to other speakers and the organisation to allow more time than has been allocated. Only allow brief questions or comments if there is time, and prevent long-winded discussions from developing and taking up time.
- If there are no questions and there is time, you may ask a question to start the process.
- Protect the speaker in the unlikely event of personal attacks. Robust but respectful debate is permissible.
HYBRID
