What is a program committee chair?

A Program Committee Chair is a key leader responsible for overseeing the planning, organization, and execution of a program or event, such as a conference or academic symposium. Their main duties include coordinating the review and selection of papers or presentations, managing the program committee, and ensuring the event runs smoothly.
