5) How to participate in a Q&A session or symposium as a speaker, as chair, or as audience member

1. Live Q&A sessions will start ten minutes before their scheduled starting time. To attend a Q&A, simply navigate to one of the ten subchannels in the ECAP10 team. The meetings will be initiated by the organization, so we ask that speakers, chairs, or audience members do not initiate the meeting.
2. The first ten minutes can be used for setting up audio and video connections and troubleshooting.
3. Please do not: mute others, kick others from the meeting, or request screen control.
4. The chair will begin by explaining the procedures for asking questions, and by briefly introducing the authors and their papers. Symposia will provide their own chairs.
5. Every Q&A session cover 5-7 papers and for each paper there are 10 to 15 minutes of Q&A available. Authors may begin by giving a brief, two minute summary of their paper.
6. We ask authors that they do not present new slides or handouts, but stick to verbally answering questions (from the audience, or from the posted comments).
7. To ask a question to the author, simply click on the raise hand button in Microsoft Teams, and wait for the chair to give you an opportunity to speak.
8. We encourage authors to view and comment on the videos of the other authors in the same session, so that the exchange will be as fruitful as possible.

6) How to attend an invited talk or keynote

1. Every day of the conference, there will be a post in the General channel with that day’s program.
2. This program will say which events are being held in which channels of the ECAP10 team.
3. Invited talks and keynotes will be held in the General channel. So simply go to that channel at the right time, and join. The camera symbol shows that a meeting is going on.
4. If you’re a speaker or a chair for an invited talk or keynote, we will get in touch with you before the session. We will provide tech support and assistance to make sure it’s clear how the meeting will be run.
