Overview

Moderators are an important part of the professionalism, quality, and success of the CASQA Annual Conference. CASQA relies on the moderators to keep the sessions on time and running smoothly, as described in the ‘Session Instructions’ section below.

In conducting the session, as host and facilitator, the moderator is to be objective regarding the content of the presentations as well as any discussions (i.e., do not promote any particular viewpoint, position, or product).

During your assigned session your focus should be only on the moderator tasks as described below, and not as a time to network or be distracted from your moderator duties.

Registration

All moderators must register as General Attendees, unless they are also a Primary Speaker or Panelist, in which case they are entitled to the discounted speaker fee. The speaker rate does not apply to Supporting Speakers.
