What our sessions can do well are articulate interesting ideas, bring new issues forward for discussion and debate, and connect people with each other.
What our sessions cannot do well are present full papers thoroughly, assess results rigorously, nor discuss deep issues in depth.
The goal of presenters is to stimulate audience discussion (and desire to read the papers presented).
Presentations are unsuccessful when the audience is not motivated to read the full paper. The following are some ideas for how authors can get the audience engaged and excited about the paper. Most practices in the DON'T column are standard procedure and the suggestions may seem radical. However, the object should be a presentation that covers less but makes a compelling argument that the paper should be read.
