If your proposal is selected you are expected to monitor your symposium session to be sure that everything is working as planned (presence of panellists, participants; existence and functioning of the required resources, etc.) and communicate in a timely manner any incident to the Conference Programme Committee.

Thank you for taking the time to communicate with the relevant SIG chairs and the Conference Programme Committee and for respecting all the deadlines to enhance the quality of the conference for all participants.
