By default, each paper should be followed by separate discussion unless agreed differently between presenters and session Chair. Where there are fewer papers in a session, Chairs may relax the time limit in consultation with presenters.
Please note: no sessions are being recorded apart from the Keynotes.
All presenters should enter the session 10 minutes before its scheduled start to do some testing and to meet with the chair and your co-presenters to make sure you are clear on the structure of the session and how to handle Q&A.
The responsibilities of the Chairs are to introduce briefly the session and the presenters, make sure that the time available is divided equally over the papers to be presented, and chair the brief time for discussion following the presentations.
In case the scheduled Chair does not attend, the general rule is that the presenter of the session's actual last paper is expected to take the role of Chair, but feel free to come to an alternative agreement on the Chair; as long as you are clear before the session starts. If your session has fewer presentations than expected due to last minute cancellations, you can be a bit more flexible with the time, but bear in mind that the audience might be interested in attending other sessions too.
Sessions will not be recorded.
