Included tasks for all moderators

Before the event:
  • In one or two meetings in September we will rehears details about the conference and your role, provide an opportunity to practice. Written instructions will be shared
  • Review the narrated power point shows of 3 to 4 abstracts of your batch. These should be submitted in September. This review should take you about 3 hours in total.

  • Introducing speakers (brief for papers; for keynotes a text will be prepared)
  • Playing the YouTube presentation at the right time for paper presentations (you will receive the link)

Optional tasks for moderators
  • Joining in the selection of abstracts. That will happen in the last week of July and the first week August.
