Session Chairs

Duties of Session Chairs of ORAL Sessions (a list of session chairs is available below):

Preparation:

Arrive at your session approximately 15-20 minutes early and familiarize yourself with the equipment (computer projector, video switch, microphone, pointer, timer, and lighting, etc). The "Condensed Program" and the "Floor Plan" may help you to locate the sessions at the Beijing International Convention Center (BICC).
Introduce yourself to the authors, make sure all authors are present.
Introduce yourself to the projectionist if there is any. Make sure there is a proper setup of the computer projector with computers.

Handling Session Summary Form:

Bring with you copies of the Session Summary Form that can be downloaded by clicking on the link and fill the form out at the end of your session (the number of copies of the form you need depends on the number of sessions you will chair, please click the link session chairs and search your last name to find how many sessions you will chair). This is very important because any paper that is not presented at the allotted date and time by the presenter or by someone who is knowledgeable on the subject of the presentation and is designated by the presenter will NOT be included in the conference Proceedings. If you have forgotten to bring the form with you, please pick up a copy at the conference registration desk.
Submit the Session Summary Form to the conference registration desk.

Presentation Timing:

Contributed Papers: 12 minutes for each presentation, 3 minutes for questions and answers.
Invited Papers: 25 minute for each presentation, 5 minutes for questions and answers.
Keep the session on time to allow participants to "session hop" and catch other papers of interest to them.

Notes:

Make any appropriate announcements such as authors should not distribute preprints during the session.
Please inform the Technical Program Chair or the General Chair for any problems if necessary.

Duties of Session Chairs of POSTER Sessions (a list of session chairs is available below):

Preparation:

Arrive at your session approximately 15-20 minutes early and familiarize yourself with the poster area. The poster layout and your session location can be found with the presentation labels in your session. The presentation labels (such as "P1A025-03") are shown in both "Full Program (Program Book)" and "Abstract Book", and the numbering rule of the presentation labels is described in detail in the "Guidelines for Poster Presentations". The "Condensed Program" and the "Floor Plan" may also help you to locate the sessions at the Beijing International Convention Center (BICC).
Introduce yourself to the authors, make sure all authors are present.
Make sure that each author has located and setup his/her poster board. If an author needs poster hardware such as removable double-sided tapes, please direct them to the conference registration desk for help.

Handling Session Summary Form:

Bring with you copies of the Session Summary Form that can be downloaded by clicking on the link and fill the form out at the end of your session (the number of copies of the form you need depends on the number of sessions you will chair, please click the link session chairs and search your last name to find how many sessions you will chair). This is very important because any paper that is not presented at the allotted date and time by the presenter or by someone who is knowledgeable on the subject of the presentation and is designated by the presenter will NOT be included in the conference Proceedings. If you have forgotten to bring the form with you, please pick up a copy at the conference registration desk.
Submit the Session Summary Form to the conference registration desk.

Notes:

There is only one poster session per day and the poster boards are available from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Therefore, we recommend that authors post their poster around 8:00 a.m. and take it off shortly before 6:30 p.m. This will maximize the exposure of the research results of the poster since some attendees, for various reasons, may not have a chance to view the posters during the designated poster presentation time. Authors are requested to be present at their posters at the times indicated in the program (for at least 90 minutes).
Remind the authors that posters (except for the Student Competition Finalists) should not be left overnight. The Conference Organizing Committee will not be responsible for lost posters if they are left overnight. Posters left on the boards after 6:30 p.m. will be removed.
Please inform the Technical Program Chair or the General Chair for any problems if necessary.
