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.
• Checking in at the speaker ready room the day before the session you are chairing..
