    2. The deadline for chairing a session is May 1st 2021. But base on our experience last year, moving earlier is strongly encouraged.

    The remaining talks will be formed into sessions under similar themes. You are welcomed to form sessions if you see talks that can be grouped together.  Please follow the instructions on the sheet.
