Up to how many 90-minute sessions would you be interested in
moderating during the conference? _______________
The sessions are typically made up of two
presenters, which are grouped together by the conference chairman
according to similarity of topics. They last 90 minutes (about 30
minutes for each presentation and 30 minutes for questions and
discussion). Sessions are not the same as panels, which the panel
organizer lines up panelists for to speak on different facets of a
particular topic, with the organizer usually serving as the chairman of.
People may serve as moderators even if they are also presenters in other
sessions or chairmen of or on other panels.
We really need people to volunteer as moderators! Thank you for your
assistance.
