Virtual Presentation

Virtual presentations are online video presentations of papers. They can be viewed during and after the conference at Academics Institute’s Official YouTube page. 

Session Chairs

Session Chairs are expected to introduce themselves and other speakers (briefly) and ensure that the session begins and ends on time, and that the time is divided fairly between the presentations.

Each presenter should have no less than 15 minutes in which to present his or her paper and respond to any questions. We recommend that the 15 minutes presentation timeslot be divided as follows: 10 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A.

The session chair is asked to assume this timekeeping role, and to this end, a yellow and red timekeeping card is used as a visual cue for presenters, letting them know when they have 5 minutes remaining, and when they must stop.

Please follow the order in the programme, and if for any reason a presenter fails to show, please keep to the original timeslots as delegates use the programme to plan their attendance.
