As a session chair, we ask that you do the following:

  1. Review presentations for length and visibility and discuss concerns with the ambassador from the steering committee
  2. Encourage speakers to upload their presentations in advance
  3. Check the program and serve as the main contact for the session with ASA staff in case any changes need to be made (e.g., reordering of speakers within session, withdrawing a speaker, etc.)
  4. Ensure speakers are on time and present for the session
  5. Introduce the speakers at the beginning of the session
  6. Make sure each speaker begins/ends at the time allotted
