Session Chair Information
{% restructuredtext %}
* Don't forget your **Radio, Headset, Stop Watch, and Signs** from the Green Room.
* **Return** your equipment to the Green Room after your session.
* Ask the speakers how they would like to be introduced, if there's anything particular you should mention in your introduction.
* Ask how the **speaker's name is pronounced.**
* Ask the speakers how much time they want for Q&A, and how they want to be timed; if they want reminders at 15min, 10min, 5min.
* Ask the speakers how they would like to handle questions: would they prefer to handle this phase of the session themselves, or would they like your help? Remind them to repeat questions.
* When the presenter is ready at the beginning of the talk, signal the A/V Team and wait for their go signal.
* If there are any announcements, please read them in a loud, clear voice. Use the microphone!
* Introduce each talk with the title, speaker, and how long the talk will last 30, 45, or 60 minutes including any Q&A: *"This is 'How to introduce a talk.' by Someone. This will be a 45min talk including 10min dedicated to Questions and answers at the end."*
* If the speaker asked for help with questions, you should ask the audience for questions at the end of the presentation, and indicate whose question should be taken next. Either you or the speaker should repeat the question into the microphone.
* Make sure talks finish on time, as a courtesy to the subsequent speakers and to the audience. *"I'm afraid we have to move to the next talk right now."*
* If there is sufficient interest suggest an Open Space followup. *"If anyone is interested in further discussion please consider an Open Space followup; a Session Runner can help those interested."*
* Remember to thank the speaker and the audiance for their participation; **start the applause.**
* Try to clear the Poduim and usher attendees away from the podium; the Session Runner will arrive with the next speaker 5min before the next talk (if all goes to plan) and manage setup and Open Space handoff.
