Session Convener Guidelines

• Introductions
  At the start of the session, briefly introduce yourself and explain the timing system to the audience, and as often during the session as you think necessary.

• Start on Time
  Start the session on time - announce the first abstract and author.
• Check the Microphone (if required)
  Make sure the speaker has the lavaliere microphone placed no lower than 6" below his/her chin.
• Stick to the Schedule
  Please adhere to the time schedule.
• Allotted Times
  The time in the schedule always includes 5 minutes for questions at the end of the presentation.
• Timing Speakers
  Speakers shall be asked to stop when their allotted time is up in a courteous but firm manner. Keep in mind that the session must end on time, and that the last speaker has just as much right to an audience as does the first speaker.
• Questions
  Please facilitate questions to the speaker. If there are no immediate questions, pose the first one yourself.
