1. Session Co-ordinator’s Guide¶
1.1. Session Co-ordinator¶
The Session Co-ordinator is responsible for scheduling contributions and breaks within his session. These contributions need to be imported by the Session Manager or Conference Manager before you can add them to your session.
You are given this co-ordinator access by either the Session Manager or the Conference Manager. The Conference Manager sets the level of modification rights for all of the Session Co-ordinators. You can access your session by selecting My session from the conference menu.
1.2. Session Co-ordination¶
There are three levels of co-ordination modification that the Conference Manager can give to Session Co-ordinators, as we will see in the following sections.
If you do not have access or the rights to any part within your session you will be presented with this page:
If you are not allowed access and you think you should, please contact a conference manager immediately.

To modify the contribution click on its entry item from either the timetable or the contribution list.
