Instructions to Chair Persons

Session Chairs/Co-Chairs are crucial for the congress program to run smoothly.
The main responsibilities of session chairs are:
1. Introduce the speaker during the session; the two chairs can decide on the format in which they will make introductions.

2. Keep the speakers on schedule. Since many of the attendees like to attend paper presentations from several parallel sessions, it is important that each paper is presented during its allocated time slot.

3. Check the check sheet if each presenter presented in person or not.
The program committee will check if the presenter submitted a pre-recorded presentation.

Instructions for Presentation

1. Each presentation lasts 15 minutes, including a 3-minute Q&A session. Timekeeper informs passing time by using a bell (1st bell:10min, 2nd bell:12min, last bell:15min).

2. The times shown in the program are Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9).

3. All presenters are expected to attend the session during the assigned time slot.
If there is no presenter at the scheduled time, please wait until the next presenter's presentation time, instead of moving on to the next presenter.
