How to format a Panel Discussion:<br />
A panel discussion is a formal, moderated discussion between selected speakers on a specific<br />
topic, in front of an audience. A successful panel discussion will follow a set agenda, specifically<br />
a set order of specific events. Keeping to this order and adhering to time limits will make a panel<br />
discussion organized and professional. Distributing the agenda ahead of time to panel members<br />
and audience participants will assist the moderator in keeping all participants focused.<br />
1. Targeted Opening: The moderator should introduce the topic in a focused and concise<br />
way, designed to grab the audience's attention. The moderator can use an anecdote or<br />
example from current media to hone in on the main points of the coming discussion.<br />
2. Introduction of Panelists<br />
3. Questions for Panelists: A few questions should be drafted by the moderator prior to the<br />
event to frame the dialogue of the session.<br />
4. Panelist Closing Remarks<br />
5. Question and Answer<br />
6. Thank the panelists and the audience<br />
