Dear ECSO-CMS 2024 delegate,
Thank you for participating in this year’s conference<https://ecso-cms2024.blogs.dsv.su.se/>! I look forward to welcoming you to Stockholm next week. The scientific committee<https://ecso-cms2024.blogs.dsv.su.se/chairs/> has prepared a compelling programme with 56 talks in the parallel sessions and three renowned plenary speakers<https://ecso-cms2024.blogs.dsv.su.se/invited-speakers/>. This agenda will hopefully stimulate poignant exchanges, and the social programme<https://ecso-cms2024.blogs.dsv.su.se/social-program/> should provide a relaxing atmosphere in which to soak up Stockholm’s best features during the long summer evenings. You will receive an e-mail from our conference-management partner, AK, about the venue, meals, and public transit.
The purpose of this e-mail is to fill you in on the procedures for the scientific programme, viz., your roles as session chairs and presenters. Here are the key points:
1. You can find the scientific programme<https://ecso-cms2024.blogs.dsv.su.se/program/> online along with the book of abstracts.
2. The parallel sessions will take place in three locations: Aula Nod, L30, and L50. The latter is in use only on Friday for two sessions and requires local staff to let you in. A local conference representative will be available to guide you to L50.
3. Each parallel session has a session chair. The chair’s responsibility is to keep time and to moderate the discussion. I suggest 22 minutes per presentation including questions, and there is sufficient buffer to allow for switching speakers. I leave it up to each chair to decide how to allocate time equitably and to give speakers ample warning about remaining time per talk.
4. It is advisable to use one laptop per session and to load all of the slides onto it prior to the start of the session. My suggestion is to use the session chair’s laptop. Each room has a USB-C cable to enable connection of your laptop with the AV system. Staff will be on call to assist with any connection issues.
5. A guest Wi-Fi code will be provided in a separate e-mail. Alternatively, if you have eduroam configured on your devices, then it should also function.
If you have any questions about the scientific organisation of the conference, then please do not hesitate to contact me. In the meantime, you will receive additional information about conference logistics from AK as I had mentioned.
Best regards,
Afzal
