Your responsibilities at the meeting are the following: * Report to the Audio-Visual Desk for instructions and information * Introduce the session topic * Introduce the speakers * IMPORTANT: Be prepared for the unexpected! * IMPERATIVE: MAINTAIN THE PROGRAM SCHEDULE. If you find a presenter has failed to attend: - *do not* move to the next paper. Attendees plan the talks they want to hear based on the published schedule - fill in the "hole" with a standby paper (if there are no official standby authors for your session, make arrangements in advance to have one or two "no strings" [no manuscript] presenters on hand) - open the floor to a Q&A session for speakers who have already presented - have one or two controversial topics ready for discussion - bring a set of slides for presentation and/or discussion - open the floor for discussion on any topic of interest to the audience - start the next talk at its published, scheduled time. - Please feel free to contact a couple of poster authors prior to the meeting and request that they come prepared to give an oral presentation in the event of a cancellation. Their contact information is listed below. We will notify you in advance of the meeting if we receive a cancellation in your session. If the cancellation occurs at the last minute, the A-V Desk staff on site will convey this information to you as soon as you check in. Please check your Technical Program schedule for the session you have agreed to chair. Contacting your presenters in your session is a way of ensuring their attendance and commitment to the meeting. I encourage you to take this extra step and I have provided you with the contact information below. I look forward to greeting you in San Diego. Sincerely, Mary Lynn Stender Technical Programs Coordinator SPIE, P.O.
