Thank you for being a part of WASOG 2023!

As an invited speaker/chair, you need to register for the meeting. You have earlier received an email with a registration link. If you still need to register for the meeting, we are happy if you do so as soon as possible so that we can plan for your presentation.


Instructions for speakers

Don’t know when you will give your presentation? See the scientific program here.

If you are assigned as an introducer in the session, your presentation should be 10 minutes and offer an intro and perspective on the challenges/methods related to the Session Topic and how the talks from session speakers will bridge the knowledge gap.
If you are assigned as a summarizer in the session, your presentation should be 10 minutes and offer a brief summary of all the talks and overall perspective on how the talks have addressed some of the current issues and challenges and what would need to be done in the future to reach the goals of precision medicine in ILDs.
Both introducers and summarizers are advised to use the titles of the talks to create the presentations for the assigned session. This implies that introducers/summarizers shall have a presentation before listening to the talks.

Panel discussion (20 min):
The chairs have the role of moderating the discussion among the speakers in the session and taking questions from the audience.

Poster Moderated Session:
As chair, you are responsible for the time being held by the speakers: a 7-minute presentation and a 3-minute Q&A. Prepare one question for each speaker.

Poster Talk Session:
As chair, you will guide the poster judges to the scheduled assigned times for the presenters. You should also assist with the microphone and be responsible for the time being held by the speakers: a 2-minute presentation and a 1-minute Q&A. See the program for Poster talk sessions here.
