Session Chair Guidelines

Session chairs are selected by the Program Committee. Their responsibilities include:

• Maintaining session timings! This is the most important function of a session chair. There is a light system at each table, but you may be required to politely interrupt the speaker if they go over time.
• Introducing speakers and presentation titles
• Facilitating questions and discussion with in-person and virtual attendees

Please check in at the speaker ready room the day before the session you are chairing to make sure everyone has submitted their presentation. Please contact any speakers who have not uploaded their presentations.
