Requests to parallel session conveners
Parallel session rooms will be provided with a screen and a projector, but without a computer for making presentations. The parallel session conveners are requested to individually arrange the computer(s) to use for presentation, in consultation, for instance, with local session members from/around KEK or LOC.
