Panel Discussions
All presenters must register to attend the AC-PCH 2019 and presenters will not be given an oral presentation slot until full payment is received for their registration. If an abstract is accepted and the presenter does not register, the abstract may be withdrawn. By submitting an abstract, the submitting author authorizes the abstract to be published by the organizer in the manner it deems fit.
Panel discussions provide an opportunity for public discussion amongst a selected group of panelists. Central to the success of a panel discussion is the choice of a good topic as the focus for discussion and panel lists that bring differing perspectives and are confident in making clear arguments in a live situation. Panels should comprise of three to five scholars who present their arguments; a discussant offers critical comment on the arguments made and the discussion is opened up to the participating audience.
Equipment that will be provided by the conference and setup in all presentation rooms:
Please, note that all electronic files should be written on USB flash drive. The laptop will be set up for Power Point presentations. Presenters are asked to save their presentations in a compatible format. There is a 20-minutes limit per presentation, include Q & A session.
