SESSION FORMAT AND SPEAKER GUIDELINES

All session speakers are requested to come on the stage at the beginning of their session and take their designated seats. The session will start with a short introduction delivered by the session Chair who will also give the floor to each of the speakers, following their order as indicated in the program.

Each speaker will deliver their lecture. Kindly note that the designated lecture time includes only the time for the presentation. Each speaker will have a timer in front of them and is kindly asked to respect the time frame allocated for their presentation. The Chair will also monitor the timing and has the right to interrupt the presentation if the speaker has extended their allocated time.

Once all the speakers have delivered their presentations, a panel discussion with questions from the audience will follow. The session chair will moderate the discussion and will close the session at the indicated program time.
