Greetings, everyone.

Two more weeks to go.

You will receive an email from the committee program team confirming the schedule, etc.

Thank you for your cooperation in adjusting the schedule.

Please note the following points for the role of chair;

1.              Chairperson of your session will contact you in advance. Please try to communicate in to get to know each  and perhaps you can ease any tension and relax.

2.              If you would like to distribute printed handouts, please prepare them in advance. Although no exact number of participants can’t be predicted,15 to 20 copies will be enough. There is no printing or copying equipment available at the venue. A paper handout is not always necessary, though.

3.          Not all presentation venues are equipped with all the equipment you may think. In particular, each presenter may bring their own PC equipment, or the moderator may use their own PC. We will provide the projector, HDMI cable, MacBook joint, extension cord, and screen.

4.              There are some venues where Wifi is difficult to connect or not available at all, so please keep this in mind when taking part in the session.

5.              We ask chairpersons to flexibly adjust equipment, venue space settings, table and chair placement, etc., depending on the venue and with the cooperation of participants. Please cooperate with your chair on the day.

6.              Regarding Q&A after the presentations, you can allocate time for each presenter or all together after all presenters. Either pattern is fine, so please choose the most appropriate style at the chairperson’s discretion.

7.              As a general rule, presentation time is 20 minutes per person. Please be punctual.

8.              Student assistants are on standby at each venue to help set up the venue, adjust equipment, and liaise with the executive committee headquarters. If we have any notifications or urgent requests, we will notify you via the assistant each time, so please respond flexibly.

9.              If you are a member of the association, please be sure to pay the participation fee from Peatix Online Ticket↓.

Full-time employee ¥2999, Part-time or non-regular employee/student ¥1499.

* Non-members who have already paid the presentation registration fee do not need to pay the participation fee.

Thank you in advance, for your continued support over the two days.
