Chairperson Guidelines
Chairpersons should ensure the smooth progress of the session, time management as well as encourage discussions and interactions between faculty members and the audience by allowing sufficient time for questions from the audience. We recommend to all chairpersons to liaise with the speakers presenting in their session as early as possible preferably prior to the congress. In order to contact the speakers involved in your session contact the scientific progamme department who will put you in contact with the team involved in your session.
