INSTRUCTIONS FOR SESSION CHAIRS
Please keep a careful watch on timing. Time slots are 30 minutes (20 minutes presentation with 10 minutes for discussion/questions) for research papers and 15 minutes (10 minutes presentation with 5 minutes for discussion/questions) for students and practitioners. These shorter papers are indicated as such in the detailed programme. We leave it to your discretion and the general feel of the session as to whether you wish to use the 10 minutes at the end of each presentation or to lump it together as a general discussion at the end of the session after all the presentations have been given. We have provided time cards (10 minutes/5 minutes/time’s up) in each of the venues.
Sessions range in duration from one to two hours. Occasionally, a session might have 15 minutes more presentations allocated than there is time for. This is an unfortunate but inevitable part of conference programming. Please check the number and duration of papers for your session, and adjust the time accordingly to ensure you can complete your session within the allocated time.
We have tried to minimise any gaps in the programme as a result of no shows but unfortunately this can never be guaranteed. Please could you contact the registration desk on the day of your session to check that all those presenting in that time slot have arrived.
CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS
All session Chairs are requested to spend a few minutes of each session asking if there are firm resolutions that the group wishes to put forward, and make time for these to be discussed and documented. These will be collated and presented at the closing of the conference.
Please summarise your session resolutions on the template (blank copies will be available on the podium in each venue for the convenience of making notes). Please note that unfortunately hard copies will not be accepted, they should be given to John Rautenbach in electronic format (this was emailed to all session chairs prior to the conference) by either flash drive or by email (jrautenbach@ufh.ac.za).
