facilitates the question and answer period. "Please be seated. Our next 
speaker is...". During the talk, you need to watch the clock and let the 
speaker know when it's the time to stop for question and help in 
questionaire session in the provided time.

Lounge to the appropriate stage 5 minutes before the talk. They help in 
any way needed to make the session run smoothly.
