Speaker roles
What sort of speakers are there and what are their roles?

● Keynote Speakers
Keynote speakers present the first session or key session at the forum and receive the highest billing in all event marketing. Their role is to open the forum with a high-level speech that sets the tone for the whole event.

● Chair
A chair’s role is to make opening remarks at the start of the session and symposium, introduce each speaker, field questions from the audience (asking a couple of his/her own if there are none from the floor) and keep everything to time. Chairman will be asked to make announcements to delegates and they remain on/near the stage throughout the day.

● Session speaker
Individual speakers are required to prepare a 20 - 25 minute presentation, with slides. They will be introduced by the chair and then allowed to speak, free of interruption, for the allocated time slot, allowing for 5-10 minutes of questions from the audience at the end (which the chairman will facilitate).

● Panelist
Panel speakers are not required to provide PowerPoint slides for their session. But they can provide papers for delegates’ reading, which will be inserted into the forum proceedings. They will be introduced by the panel moderator and asked a few questions. They will then be involved in a debate/interactive discussion with the moderator, the other panel members and the audience.

● Moderator
Panel moderators are required to introduce each panelist and ask them a series of pre-prepared questions in a "chat show host" style. They also need to encourage audience participation, fielding questions from the floor, whilst keeping the whole panel to allocated time.

● Sponsor
Sponsor speakers are either session speakers or panelists. They are encouraged to keep to the topic suggested to them by the forum organizer and not to lapse into sales pitches! This is to help sustain attention from the audience.

Note: No team presentations are allowed
