Parallel Sessions for Oral Presentations

We are arranging a virtual meeting space with the goal of providing an engaging and meaningful experience for those who are enthusiastic of the topics.

1. On registration, presenters will be asked to submit their full papers.
2. After acceptance notification, presenters will have to submit their recorded presentation videos to the committee in anticipation of any hindrance of attending the virtual symposium on the expected date and time.
3. Zoom invitations will be sent by email to all presenters and invited speakers, while also available to be accessed by other participants at Rundown.

The success of our virtual symposium will depend on all of us working together and creating a common space – and purpose – as we build a dynamic, interactive, and inclusive symposium. Several technical arrangements regarding parallel sessions are specified below:

1. Parallel sessions presenters have to present the research live.
2. If the presenters are not available to attend the event due to a different time or another unexpected condition, the committee will present your video presentation material.
3. If presenters are not available during live sessions, comments and questions will be forwarded to their respective emails.
4. Parallel sessions will be clustered according to symposium topics with each session chaired by one person, assisted by one administrator, and attended by both presenters and participants.
5. Presenters are invited to check out our submission guide on virtual presentations. Please kindly record your files at 720p (i.e. 720 x 1.280 pixels) or 1080p (1080 x 1.920 pixels). Anything higher, such as 2k or 4k resolution, is unnecessary. Save your files as .MP4 or .mov and name them using the format “Parallel Session – your topic – Submission paper ID number – paper title”
6. If the idea of recording the talk seems a little daunting, you might consider getting someone to help. Many academic departments have students, both graduate and undergraduate, who are surprisingly computer/technology savvy. Some may even have their own video cameras and editing software.
