SESSION FORMAT AND PRESENTATION OF PAPERS  

Sessions are either 90 or 120 minutes in length. 90-minute sessions will typically include up to four papers, 120-minute sessions typically up to five. Papers should be presented within a maximum of 15 to 18 minutes so that there is sufficient time available for discussion. Session Chairs are asked to enforce this limit with gusto!   

By default, each paper should be followed by separate discussion unless agreed differently between presenters and session Chair.  Where there are fewer papers in a session Chairs may relax the time limit in consultation with presenters. Should a listed session Chair turn out to be unavailable at the start of the session, the presenter of the last paper should act as default session Chair.  

Instructions regarding presenting at this virtual conference will be posted in due course. Any questions please email celia@conferencehub.co.uk 

We would encourage you to share your full paper and / or slide presentation with delegates in advance of the session (it must be in pdf format). Your full paper / presentation will only be visible to other delegates via the attendee app and through OnAir, the virtual conference platform.   

The Twitter hashtag of the conference is #SES2022 and we encourage you to live tweet from sessions and the conference overall.
