Presenters: Most sessions are 90 minutes long and have 6 presenters. Therefore, presentations should be ~15 minutes long. Q&A will be held at the end of the last presentation in each session. Presentation materials will be collected electronically on-site (white papers, etc.) and will be published in Scholarly Commons post-conference.
Session Chairs: Please welcome presenters and attendees to your session, introduce presenters (you do not need to introduce discussants) and serve as timekeeper, ensuring equal presentation time. When there are three minutes remaining in a presentation, please raise your hand until acknowledged by the presenter. When time is up, please stand and be ready to introduce the next presenter. Allow the presenter to make final comments, not to exceed 1-2 minutes, and announce time is up. Following the last presentation, please ask if there are discussants who want to lead off with Q&A.
Session Chairs and Discussants: Please note the highlights of the session to feed into our joint post-conference communication. Chairs are invited to submit a summary of their session for the proceedings. This summary can be written by the session chair or co-authored with presenters/discussants.
