3) Presenter

4) Presentation Type

  • when submitting your abstract indicate preference for (A) individual paper; (B) part of a pre-planned panel session/roundtable session; or (C) workshop

 

Abstracts submitted as Individual Papers (not associated with a pre-planned Panel Session / Roundtable Session) will be grouped into Panel Sessions or Roundtable Sessions based on what is addressed in the submitted abstracts (please see some suggested Theme Strands below).  Please note: the program organizers will do their best to fit you into your preferred session type (Panel Session or Roundtable Session); however, your original session type selection might be changed if necessary to conform to program demands.

 

Pre-planned Panel Sessions/ Roundtable Sessions consists of a group of authors who propose a topic for a Panel Session / Roundtable Session and their abstracts are submitted specifically to this pre-planned Panel Session / Roundtable Session.  Each presenter in a pre-planned Panel Session / Roundtable Session will submit an abstract of their presentation and identify the corresponding Panel Session / Roundtable Session during the abstract submission process.  In addition, each presenter should identify the other presenters of the pre-planned session to ensure that they are grouped into the 'correct' pre-planned session.

 

Each session will consist of 4 to 5 individual presentations and are planned for one hour.  The difference between a Panel Session and Roundtable Session is that in a Roundtable Session the presenters are allotted more time for interaction among presenters and with the audience.  The exact amount of time for presentations in a session will be determined in cooperation with session Chairs.

 

A Workshop consists of interactive experience between presenter(s) and attendees.  The length of a workshop will be either one hour or two hours.  The structure of a workshop will be determined by the workshop Chair.

​

A special notice to Pre-planned Session (Panel; Roundtable) organizers/chairs: please note that all presenters in your session must have their own abstract with title submitted (in order to appear in the conference book of abstracts); there is no need for an additional Pre-planned Session description (only the presenters' abstracts).  All individual abstracts are then linked by the session title.  Please make sure that all your presenters have the session title when they are submitting their own abstracts or, if you prefer to enter the abstracts for your session presenters, please create an account for each presenter and make sure you have their personal information (i.e., email, mobile phone, affiliation, city and country of residence) at the time of submission.
