PANEL BEST PRACTICES (for the presentation day on August 1)
Please keep your presentations to 15 minutes so that there is time for discussion. The moderator will introduce you and, during the presentation, remind you when you have 3 minutes left and 0 minutes left. You may use slides from your computer, but make sure you have an HDMI port or a dongle for it. For each panel, the Q&A will commence after all panelists have presented their papers. The moderator will collect 2-3 questions for individual panelists, followed by another round, and so forth.
