Presiding Officer and Event Moderators Resource Page

If you’ve agreed to serve as a moderator or presiding officer for a TRB Annual Meeting event, thank you! The documents linked on this page will help you understand your role and responsibilities.

You’ll find resources for different event types – committee meetings, workshops, lectern sessions, and poster sessions – as well as helpful background on room setup, visual aid requirements, and emergency procedures.

We also recommend reviewing the speaker and poster presenter resource page so you’re familiar with the guidance provided to session participants. 

If you have questions, please contact your TRB staff officer.
