Information for Speakers
Conference Rooms
All conference rooms are equipped with a notebook with USB
ports, Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and a
projector. Note for presenters and discussants: please use
these notebooks for your presentations and bring along your
slides on a USB memory device. Please arrive 10 minutes
prior to the start of the session to upload your
presentation to the notebook before the session starts.
Duration
To ensure the smooth proceeding of the Conference, please
start and finish the sessions on time. Please note that each
presenter has approximately 25 minutes for the presentation,
the remaining time should be left for discussion. The chair
and the speakers should agree on the precise timing and
format of the discussion: that is whether it covers the
session as a whole or comes following each paper.
Session Chairs
Chairs are invited to come to the room 10 minutes prior to
the start of the session. They introduce the topic and the
speakers, make sure that the time rules are followed and
guide the general discussion following the presentation.
They should also coordinate with the speakers and agree on
the form and precise timing of the discussion. The
conference programme identifies the chairs for each session:
in case the scheduled chair does not show up, the presenter
of the session’s last paper is expected to take over the
role of the chair.
