1
Before the Session
  • Notify the Programme Chairs or IEEM Secretariat promptly if you are unable to chair your assigned session.
  • Arrive 10-15 minutes early to check the room, identify the presenters and confirm that presentation files and audiovisual equipment are ready.
  • Review the published presentation order and individual time slots. Locate the meeting-room record and any time-warning notices provided.
  • Only participants wearing an IEEM2026 name badge may enter the session room. Refer any access issue to the Secretariat.

During and After the Session
  • Start and finish on time, introduce each presenter and keep each presentation within its published 15-minute slot. Allow for questions within that slot.
  • Give clear time warnings and ask the presenter to conclude when necessary. Use time-warning notices if provided.
  • Follow the published order and individual start times. Do not rearrange or move presentations without approval from the Programme Chairs or Secretariat.
  • If a presenter is absent or finishes early, use the remaining time for questions and discussion. Do not bring later presentations forward.
  • Record presentation status, including any no-show, replacement presenter or significant schedule issue, on the meeting-room record. Sign and return the completed record to the Secretariat after the session.
