You must be present in the room before your session begins.
Prepare a note listing your paper #, your name and affiliation, and title of your paper. Also, list name and affiliation of all co-authors of your presentation.
Hand your note to the Session Chair, before your session begins. After your talk is introduced by the Session Chair, begin speaking immediately from Slide 1. Do not repeat names of co-authors and other information.
You will be given a "1-minute remains" warning by the Session Chair. It is highly advised that you show the conclusion slide at the warning and prepare to conclude your talk.
