  • Arrive 10-15 minutes before the session to check the room, meet the Session Assistant and confirm which presenters are present.
  • Confirm that presentation files and audiovisual equipment are ready before the session starts.
  • Only participants wearing an IEEM2026 name badge may enter the session room.
  • Use the meeting-room record to mark presentation status and sign the completed record.
2
During the Session
  • Start and finish on time, introduce each presenter and enforce the allocated presentation time.
  • Use the time-warning notices and ask a presenter to conclude when necessary.
  • Follow the published presentation order. Do not rearrange or move presentations without approval from the Programme Chairs or Secretariat.
  • If a presenter is absent or a presentation ends early, use the available time for questions and discussion; do not bring later presentations forward if this could disadvantage attendees.
  • Ensure the Session Assistant records any no-show, replacement presenter or material schedule issue.

Audio Visual Support
If audiovisual equipment malfunctions, alert the Session Assistant immediately. The technical support team will assist; the Chair should keep the audience informed and resume the published schedule as closely as possible.
