Instructions for chairs

As Chair, you are responsible for the time being held by the speakers. Specify the time for each speaker. If the speaker seems to exceed the allocated time, you may announce that it is 1 minute left and ask the speaker to summarize the presentation. Alternatively, simply stand up and make sure the speaker is aware of your action.

Start the session exactly on time.

The speakers are instructed to include a minimum of 5 minutes (2-3 minutes for abstracts presentations) of their time slot for questions.

When there are two Chairs for the same session, plan in advance how and by whom the speakers are introduced.

Prepare one question for each speaker. Questions from the audience have priority during the discussion following the presentations.

The session should always end on the scheduled time.

Some speakers will add a live voting to their presentation and will allow the auditors to send in questions via NECTM9 app. The questions enter the IPAD that you log in to (the technician can help you with problems) where you can easily read and sift through them if you need to select questions. 

In the app, we also have a mentometer function. Voting takes place via the participant's own smart phone. Read more about how this works here
