All Oral presentations will take place in plenary sessions.

The introduction of the sessions is done by the chair(s) and are followed by the invited keynote speeches, which are meant to set the scene of the session and have a duration of maximum 10 minutes.

All oral presentations selected from the abstract submissions, and which are gathered in each session under the title “Case studies on the role of EO for ecosystem accounts”, will be a maximum of 5 – 6 minutes in length, and should include a final slide on EO challenges, opportunities and recommendations.

ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT

During the Session(s):
The Session chair will conduct the session flow according to the agenda. We recommend the chair to advise the speaker when 1 minute is left, to keep the schedule.

At the end of each sub-session on “Case studies on the role of EO for ecosystem accounts” (which can vary from 20 to 45 mins approx.), there will be space for Questions and Answers. The Q&A will be led by the session chairs, where all attendees have the possibility to make questions through the chat panel in the WebEx (see above).

Each session will include some moderated discussions (which can vary from 10 to 45 mins approx. depending on the session). Instructions on how the moderated discussions will be conducted will be communicated by the session chairs during their session introduction.

Recordings:
This event will be recorded and the videos can be used for re-watch purposes related to the event. However, at the beginning of the Session, we suggest the chair to remind all the invited panellists, who should feel uncomfortable being recorded, to keep the video disabled during the entire Session.
