CHAIRS
Submitting authors of Wildcards and Roundtables will act as the Chair for their session. In most cases, this is the first author of the Wildcard or Roundtable. Chairs for paper sessions will be assigned at a later date.

Chairs are responsible for making sure all participants arrive on time, introducing participants, starting and ending the presentation on time, and making sure that you have everything necessary to present your session.

ROOM SET-UP and AUDIOVISUAL
Chairs are also responsible for room set-up and audiovisual, but presenters should also coordinate their session in advance with their session chair and fellow presenters.

The standard room set up for paper sessions is theater-style sitting with a small head table. An LCD projector and screen will be provided.

The standard room set up for Wild Cards is theater-style sitting with a head table. An LCD Projector and screen for Wild Cards will be provided if we are notified prior to January 28th.  

The standard room set up for Roundtables is two roundtables, seating approximately 8 individuals each. Conference-provided LCD projectors are NOT available to roundtables. Should you need an LCD projector, please bring your own and let us know if you need a screen. Send any special roundtable requests by January 28 to Angela De Cenzo.

Presenters may be responsible for audiovisual costs, depending on the item requested.
