Session chair is a simple but effective software that will allow you to control time in any presentation, conference or congress. Developed by ITA for internal use, we were prompted by users to commercialize it after using it with great success during an international congress. Session chair is great whether you are an individual who wants to be in charge of your presentation or if you are an event organizer who wants to guarantee that the schedule will be met. All you need to do is configure the many options of the software and enjoy the presentation.

Session chair will keep track of the time allocated for every presentation in your session. The software will display subtle time warnings (as subtle as you wish) to the presenter. When the time is running out, you will be able to configure a very persuading countdown, telling the presenter and everyone in the room that the time is almost up. For those persistent speakers that chairpeople fear the most, Session Chair gives you the option to shut down the Power Point presentation after a customizable grace period. With Session Chair you can guarantee you will keep things on schedule.

Not every event can afford to have a technician in every room attending presenters. Sometimes, something as simple as closing down the presentation from the previous speaker, and locating and loading the next one, is a burdensome task left for the presenter or even the chairperson. Session Chair allows to configure all presentations in a session, and all sessions in a congress, making this process a simple point and click exercise. Additionally, Session Chair displays the full session program, including times, titles and presenter names, and can be configured with a personalized wallpaper and logos.

We are experienced event organizers. That is why we know what you need. Session Chair has been especially designed to provide you with a professional looking tool that will enhance the presence of your event. You will be able to customize everything, from logos to fonts and the way time signaling appears in the software. Session Chair will both keep your sessions on time and make you look good.

We have tested session chair in several events and we can conclude that it is an improvement for all those involved in the event. Presenters can have a constant visual aid to help them to finish on time. Audiences know that presenters will get to the point and finish in the scheduled time. And most importantly, chairpeople can relax and rely on the software to avoid most unpleasant moments trying to keep the session on schedule.
