7. A conference intern with put up flash cards indicating your remaining five minutes, and last two minutes which you can use to remind presenters to limit their presentations.

8. Moderate the open forum ascertaining that short and direct questions are addressed to specific speakers. It might be good to give a short summary of what has been presented so that audience members will have the time to compose their questions and muster the guts to raise their hands.

9. Keep questions from the floor and the answers from the presenters succinct. This will give more people the opportunity to ask and reply.

10. Close the session by thanking the speakers and the audience and telling participants about the next activity.

3. Wear comfortable business attire that will not draw too much attention from your paper presentation.

4. You may either fully memorize or master only the main points of your paper for easy flow of your presentation. Be prepared to answer any questions from the audience.
