Chair Person's Notes

Thank you for agreeing to Chair a session at ANZRS 2025.

Following are some instructions to assist you in this role. PLEASE ENSURE YOU DOUBLE CHECK THE DATE AND TIME OF THE SESSION YOU ARE CHAIRING! 

1. ​Visit the registration desk for messages and updates. 
2. The registration desk is located in the foyer of the Hilton Hotel Queenstown.
3. Start the session on time and time keep throughout the session. A bell will be provided for your use to help you ensure sessions run to time. Usually you would 'ding' the bell when the speaker has 2 minutes left to talk. Let the speaker know this prior to the session starting so they know what the 'ding' means! 
4. Remind delegates to switch cell phones to silent. Don't tell them to turn their phones off though, otherwise they won't be able to use the mobile app. 
5. Introduce the speaker to the audience.  Speaker bios are available on the SPEAKERS page of this website or the Mobile App. Bios are not to be read out in full but are for your reference. A 1-2 sentence introduction for each speaker should be sufficient.
6. Make a closing statement. 
7. Thank the speaker for their contribution to the meeting. 
8. Subject to speaker permission, PPTs will be available on the website post conference, for up  to 6 months.
