GUIDELINES FOR CHAIRMEN and SPEAKERS
The time of presentations is 15 minutes followed by 5 minutes discussion If speaker goes over the allotted time limit, one of the Chairmen will invite him/her to kindly conclude the talk, saving time for discussion in order to be in time with following presentations. There will be a timer as a reminder of where a single presenter is in the presentation. A signal will be given to the presenter before the end of presentation. The second signal will be given at the end of the presentation leaving 20 seconds to finish.
