  1. Please make sure all phones are on silent or turned off during the session
  2. Photos of the speakers and slides must not be taken during the lectures unless the speaker has given their consent
  3. Please start your sessions promptly and re-convene your session following the refreshment break/lunch according to the timetable. As it is a busy programme, we appreciate your assistance to ensure the programme runs smoothly. To ensure the talks run to time, please make a formal announcement at the beginning of your session.

    Based on a 30-minute session, please let the speaker know that there are ten minutes, and then at five you can encourage questions and discussion and then move on at the end of the slot.
  4. Using a 30-minute talk as a guide, please remind the speaker at the following points:Reminder after 20 minutes

· Reminder after 25 minutes

· Call the speaker exactly after their allocated slot is finished.

 

RECORDING

The majority of the talks will be recorded and live streamed to registered logged in users, an option has been provided for speakers to opt out of their talk being recorded. There will be an AV technician in the room from the venue and a technician from Underline our hybrid webinar company who will be present to manage any virtual talks with your session.

 

PECHA KUCHAS

A Pecha Kucha session is made up of a number of short poster talks. The short poster talks provide the poster presenters a unique opportunity to provide a short dynamic sales pitch to showcase their research on display. There will be a list of the authors invited to give a pecha kucha presentation for each session and will be listed in the conference programme and app.

 

The list of the names in the programme confirms the order which the presenters will presenting in so please use this as your reference. All the authors have been informed of the timing, although there may be one or two drop outs - don’t let this stop the flow though, just move on quickly to the next pecha kucha presenter.
