Take your presentation to the Speaker Preview Room: Speakers do not need to email final presentations ahead of time. Please bring your final presentation with you on a memory stick and take it to the Speaker Preview Room (Room 1.52, Level 1, CTICC 1) at least 2 hours before your session. Congress staff will upload it and assist you if there are any problems.

Important note: Please do not take your presentation directly to the session room – it will not be accepted there. All presentations must be uploaded in the Speaker Preview Room. Personal laptops are not permitted for presentations.

INFORMATION ABOUT SESSIONS

ASSISTANCE IN THE SESSION ROOMS

Each session room will be staffed by 2 Room Assistants and an Audio-Visual (AV) technician. The AV technician will manage the presentations and audio, and the Room Assistants will manage the session transitions and pass the microphone for discussion. If you experience any problems, please talk to the Room Assistant.

In order to ensure smooth session operation, speakers are requested to come to the session room at least 10 minutes before the session starts and contact the chairperson.

AUDIO-VISUAL (AV)

There will be an AV technician in your session room who will put each presentation up on the screen. Speakers will see their presentation on the comfort monitor on the floor in front of them and will have a remote slide changer (with laser pointer) to advance their own slides. There will be table-top microphones on the Top Table and a fixed microphone on the lectern. Microphones will be passed around by the Room Assistants during discussion.

SEATING ARRANGEMENT

Chairs should sit at the Top Table at the front of the session room. The front row in the session room will be reserved for speakers. Stage capacities for panel discussions vary across the session rooms, so decisions will be made in room.

TIMEKEEPING

Strict timekeeping is exceedingly important. Each session room will be equipped with countdown clocks to assist you with timekeeping.

Q&A

The chair will run the Q&A. This could take place after each presentation, or after all the presentations, at the end of the session. Speakers may take questions from the lectern or join the chair at the Top Table. The Room Assistants will circulate the microphones among the audience.
