Hello

everyone

I'm LiuHongchen

from Capital Medical University

from Capital Medical University

Now we are going to talk about Chapter ten

chairing a conference

Upon completion of this chapter

you are expected to

you are expected to

understand what it means to be a presider

for an academic conference

understand what a presider must do

when chairing an academic conference

grasp better ways needed

for chairing an academic conference

Part one introduction

A professional medical conference

provides not only a perfect channel

for the exchange of latest research progress

but also a wonderful occasion

for some novice medical professionals

to improve their academic prestige

by presenting their studies to the peers

While presenting one's research

in an academic conference

may prove to be a challenging task

chairing one is something that

is no easier to handle

Part two functions

Chairing an academic conference

is much more of a job

than simply passing the microphone among speakers

A presider's role is like a bridge

that smoothly leads

that smoothly leads

the conference to the aim

So what makes a good presider

A good presider in most cases

need to enjoy a certain level of academic prestige

or at least to be a well learned

figure within the field

In this way

he or she could be alert enough

to cope calmly and flexibly

with the professional context

Good insights of issues being presented

may enable a presider

to steer the course of discussion

keeping the topic stay on track

encouraging fair contribution from all the members

and summarizing major points

being discussed in general

A good presider needs to fulfill

the following duties as

inviting the speakers controlling time

keeping order

negotiating differences

lightening the atmosphere

summing up the main points of each presentation

part three

suggested ways to successfully chair

an academic conference

A series of steps

to chair a professional medical conference

have been formed in practice

namely opening a meeting

introducing each presenter

summarizing each presentation

organizing discussions

organizing discussions

extending appreciations

to presenters or experts

and delivering a closing speech

One opening a conference

one important duty of a presider

is to announce the opening of the conference

which can be subdivided

into the following four paths

self introduction of the presider himself

self introduction of the presider himself

Third parties introduction

creating an easy atmosphere

schedule announcement

Self introduction of the presider

A sound self introduction can be a good way

to remind the audiences that

it is time to start a session

usually

it is started by a simple greeting

to the audiences

and ended with the name

of the conference

such as

Example 1

Greetings all or good evening,

ladies and gentlemen

my name is Lu

from Capital Medical University

or I am Liu

a doctoral candidate or

a fellow researcher

from Capital Medical University

It is my utmost the pleasure

to be your chairman

to share this evening session today

for the annual Conference of the Prevention

of Cardiovascular Diseases

Third parties introduction

Sometimes a presider would also have to

speak on behalf of the third party's interest

namely the organizers

or even sponsors of the conference

through extending welcome

or appreciation to the audience's

experts or each presenter

Example two

On behalf of North China Pharmaceutical Group

we thank you for your enthusiastic participation

and wish you have a nice time

today for this session

Example 3

we warmly welcome you

on behalf of North China Pharmaceutical Group

to this session today and appreciate

all the experts presenters

for your willingness to share

your studies with us

your studies with us

Creating an easy atmosphere

an academic conference due to

its highly professional nature

may easily generate tense

among audiences and presenters

It his hance vital for a procedure

to create a free and relaxing atmosphere

for all participants to speak

In fulfilling the task

some subtle skills would be needed

such as readdress

such as readdress

the conference theme

or session topic

so as to clear the thoughts of the audience's

using plain and simple language

to address the audience

Not required

though

though

a sense of humor such as

self deprecation will always be helpful

in relaxing the atmosphere

You may begin like this

example four

Well

as we are going to talk about the

prevention of cardiovascular diseases

I hope all your folks

could chew down a little bit

and prepare yourself for all

the incoming novel ideas

as too much tension or fierce discussion

may also be the cause of cardiovascular diseases

and if we do have one or two cases

out of some intense arguments

we may well provide good examples

for our next session tomorrow

which is all about the cure of

cardiovascular diseases

Schedule announcement

A concise schedule announcement

is indispensable to a good opening speech

in an academic conference

It is vital for the presider

to brief about each phase of the conference

so that the audiences may well cope

their time with the schedule

as which sessions they are interested in most

and which they feel not

so strongly in attending to

Moreover

it is also important to give presenters

and experts and notice

and when they will speak

how long they can speak

and what may come after their presentations

You may conduct this part like this

Example 5

Our conference will be going on

for two and half days

with three sessions in total

with three sessions in total

You may find the specific timeline

and major events

for each session on the poster

or in your conference brochure

Tonight will be the first session

where we will focus our discussions

on the prevention

of cardiovascular diseases

There will be five presenters

sharing their latest research

in that field with us

and they will speak in an order

as shown in the list on the screen

A presenter will have approximately one hour

to present their work and thirty minutes

to answer questions from the audiences

Now let's welcome the first presenter

Dr Leal from Capital Medical University

to share his study

Dos and don'ts.

Chairing an academic conference

doesn't mean to attract all the spotlights

A presider is there to smooth

the progress and control the pace

in other words

to ensure good coordination

between speakers and audiences

Therefore

a presider should always be aware of the length

of his own speech and make sure

all the speakers may have themselves

fully expressed for the opening speech

Here are several things that

a presider should always keep in mind

For self introduction

Never talk too much about yourself

Making a self introduction at the beginning

is not like a filling a resume

All you have to do is to let people know

who you are for who you work

For third parties introduction

try to be precise and concise

You are not there to make a commercial

so don't act like you are advertising

for the third party

which might prove to be annoying and

distracting to scholars and doctors

For creating an easy atmosphere

Avoid being too sensational

It is okay

sometimes even helpful

for presider to be humorous

in the opening speech

But he who chairs the meeting

should never take it as a chance

to show off one's charm

Usually one plane joke is merely enough

for easing the tense away

For schedule announcement

Always avoid being overly specific

A presider should never include

too many details in the opening speech

such as the specific time of each session

speakers names and etc

simply directing your audiences

to the right part where they could quickly

locate the information needed

locate the information needed

Two

Introducing each presenter

and summarizing each presentation

Introducing a Speaker

Introducing a speaker in an academic conference

may seem to be an easy job

yet there are also certain skills for a good

presider to follow

If he or she wants to have

a total control of the conference

Generally speaking

there are four strategies

for fulfilling the task

Direct introduction

A direct introduction serves

as the most straightforward way

to introduce a speaker

by providing information

including the speaker's name

title affiliation and title of

title affiliation and title of

the paper submitted.

You may begin this part like this

Example 6

Our next presenter is Dr.Liu

from Capital Medical University

He will address the issue of cardiovascular

disease prevention with a research paper

lately published on Nature

Appreciative introduction

The presider can also show appreciation

of the presenter’s work

while giving the introduction

You may begin this part like this

example 7

Our next presenter Dr. Liu

has achieved an encouraging breakthrough

in the prevention and treatment

of cardiovascular diseases

drawing from academics both in China and abroad

Now it is our honor to have him today

to give us a talk on the latest achievement

in prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Background introduction

Introduction with the anecdotes of the speakers

can sometimes cheer up the atmosphere

and create a friendly contacts

and create a friendly contacts

for the next presentation

You may conduct this part like this

example 8

our next presenter is Dr Liu

who was recently included

in the Thousand Talents program

for his outstanding research

in the Prevention and Treatment

of cardiovascular diseases

Of course

most of us may know him as

the Mr paper for his craze

in journal reading

today

we are honored to have him with us here

sharing his findings in the prevention

of cardiovascular diseases

Dr Liu

please.

Transitional introduction

A transitional introduction

is the one that connects the next presentation

with the previous one

It is given by firstly offering compliment

to the previous speaker

and then introducing the next one

Usually

a transitional introduction

works between two presentations

that are closely related with each other

And that you may do this part like this

Example 9

Thank you

Dr Liu

for your insightful report

on the recent progress

in screening cardiovascular diseases

our next speaker

Prof.Zhou

will further this research on the differential

diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases

I would like to call upon Prof.Zhou

to present his work

Prof.Zhou please

Summarizing each presentation

It is extremely important for presider

in an academic conference

to be able to sum up the main

topics of each presentation

It can be quite challenging for most audiences

to stay fully focused on each lengthy

and abstract medical research presentation

In that case

a summary of each presentation

may help those absent minded audiences

Well stay on track

A presider may handle this part like this

Example Tan

Well

that's an impressive breakthrough you made

in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Dr. Liu

You have renovated our understanding of

the prevention of cardiovascular diseases

with sound evidence

and delicate design of experiment

We are all looking forward to hearing

new progress made in the future

Do's and don'ts

The above strategies and tips

in most cases are not functioning alone

but in combination

generally there are three steps for

a good provider to follow

Step one

The set up

always remember to include

a speaker's name and background

Step two

the pitch

always remember to include what the speaker

will do and has done in the previous one

Step three

closing

always remember to point out the significance

of the presenter's work

and what can be expected

from his research in the future
