Planning an oral session

Session planning by session chair

An oral session differs from a poster session in that all planned contributions are scheduled with a time duration (start and end time).

Within the session schedule you can plan abstracts, lectures and events.

Step 1: Define presentation duration

You can define a default setting for the duration in minutes of any contribution you schedule.

For each individual contribution you can later adjust the presentation duration to the minute.

Step 2: Select contribution

Select the contribution you want from the available abstracts or the available lectures or events.

Step 3. Insert contribution into the timetable

Abstracts and Lectures |Events are drag'n dropped into the schedule. They are automatically inserted with the specified presentation duration.
