Session Chairs

The main task of a session chair is to run the session. All speakers have been advised to get in contact with you before the session - please check that all of them are present before your session starts. If one of the speakers is missing, leave the presentation slot empty to be on schedule. Within your session, please introduce the speakers and keep track of the time limits (indicate to the speaker when it is time to stop). Please also manage the question and answer procedure after each talk (long dialogues have to be done off-line). If there are Interactive Presentations assigned to your session, please provide a one minute time slot to each of them at the end of the session. Afterwards, we ask you to fill the evaluation form.

Session Co-Chairs

The main task of a session co-chair is to support the session moderator and to handle unexpected situations. Please estimate the number of attendees (required for the evaluation form). You are requested to handle unexpected noise (talk to security people), A/V problems (talk to AV people / technicians) and look for missing speakers. In case of unexpected circumstances, please replace a missing session moderator.
