Reflection

 

1. How would you personally organize a conference where multiple sessions are held at the same time? Would you put all of them into a single conference room, or would you use multiple rooms? What would be the reason? Explain your answer.

2. Assume that the conference room is properly fitted with audiovisual equipment to display large-size video and amplify the speaker’s voice. If a person wanted to attend a specific session, does it matter which seat will the person takes, or is it sufficient for the person to sit anywhere as long as it is in appropriate conference room?

3. What are the potential consequences or benefits if the speech from one conference room somehow leaked into another?

4. If questions or inquiries arise during a presentation, should an attendee simply shout out his/her question, or should there be some process of assuring that attendees are given an opportunity to ask questions that everyone can hear? What would happen without this process?

5. Can a session run out of time without going through the entire intended content if an interesting topic elicits a larger discussion where many attendees have questions? If you did not want this to happen, what would be the best way to ensure that it does not occur?

6. Imagine that the session is in a panel format, which allows more free discussion of attendees with the panelists and among themselves. If a person wants to address another person within the same room, can he/she do it directly? If so, how is this possible? How would a panelist invite another person to join who is not presently in the room?

7. What benefit, if any, was achieved by the isolation of multiple sessions into separate conference rooms if, after the event, people could meet and share the information?
