During the break before your speech please do not forget to check your pre-installed presentation in the auditorium and get in touch with your session coordinator. Conference session timing is always crucial. Therefore you are kindly asked to arrive well before your session begins and especially to strictly adhere to the time frame of your speech and any instructions given by the session coordinator.
