General Instructions
Each presenter will be given a time slot of 10 minutes in total, which is distributed as 7 minutes of presentation and 3 minutes of answering questions from the chairs/auditorium and changing of presenters at the podium. As the schedule of presentation sessions is tight it is of utmost importance that all presenters are ready and in time for their presentations. The introduction of each presenter will be kept brief when introduced by the chair.
Only one presenter per presentation is allowed.
Change in presenter can be done by contact SOH admin upto the January 31st. Any change in presenter after that date will need to be requested by the senior author.
