Adhere to the scheduled paper times so that attendees may switch from one session to another without missing a paper.
Coordinate questions and answers. Moderators should have questions prepared to ask in case there are no questions from the audience. Once questions begin from the floor, the moderator should refrain from asking their questions.
Conflict of Interest: Moderators are responsible for addressing and resolving conflict of interest. Please refer to the Conflict of Interest form on the moderator table in the session room. Complete the form and leave at the head table at the end of the session. If there were no conflicts, please indicate “no conflicts” on the form.
Make sure the speaker gives a verbal disclosure/conflict of interest at the beginning of the talk.
If no disclosure/conflict of interest is provided during presentation please ask presenter for information at the conclusion of talk.
Commercial Bias: Moderators are responsible for “keeping the presentations balanced.”
When a company’s product is mentioned, we ask that the moderator note other products generally acceptable for the procedure discussed if the speaker does not. It would also be appropriate to announce the speaker’s documentation of the potential conflict as noted in the disclosure index listed on the ORS Annual Meeting website or ask the faculty speaker directly if such a conflict exits.
No photography, video, audio recording or reproduction of any kind may be used during any portion of the ORS Annual Meeting.
