21. 1. Donât prep with your panelists.
Many moderators imagine they are running a Congressional hearing, not a
panel discussion.
They hold pre-panel conference calls, and write lengthy e-mails back and forth
hashing out the terrain each speaker intends to cover. Avoid that as much as
possible.
Your goal is to be a group of smart, funny people on-stage having a dynamic
conversation.
That doesnât mean that you as a moderator shouldnât research your panelists
and their work so that you can come up with appropriate questions.
TIPS FOR MODERATOR
21
22. 2. Sit with your panelists.
Itâs just not possible to run a good panel discussion by standing at the
podium. Sit in the middle of your panelists, so you can easily make eye
contact, and if needed, tap someone long-winded on the elbow and say,
âJanet, those are fascinating examples, but can we get Billâs take on this
topic?â
3. Moderators canât also be panelists.
Just as an orchestra conductor would never whip out his viola to play a solo,
your job is to encourage your panelists to give great performances. Once you
start chiming in or rebutting panelists, the balance gets thrown off. You just
canât play both roles at once. (And just as a conductor would, you also need
to be firm about not letting certain panelists dominate the discussion.)
TIPS FOR MODERATOR
22
23. 4. Never let the panelists introduce themselves. Thatâs the
moderatorâs job. Be as brief as you can, especially if the
audience is holding a program guide with lengthier bios in it.
Three lines is the absolute longest anyoneâs introduction should
be. No one cares where each panelist worked 27 years ago, or
how you first met them.
TIPS FOR MODERATOR
23
24. 1. Don't be a moderator, be a panelist: The moderator
does not get to really tell a story or exhibit any expertise --
they really just guide the questions. If given the choice, ask to
be a panelist. If asked to be a moderator, request to be a
panelist. If you don't have a choice, be a moderator.
2. Disagree once.: Panels can get really dry and really
boring for the audience, particularly after lunch. Find an
opportunity to disagree with another panelist to spice it
up, get the crowd engaged, and get the dialog rolling
24
25. 3. Don't Be Shy and Don't Dominate: If you
were invited on a panel, you want to say your
piece and you want to get all your soundbytes
out there, but you don't want to take up too much
airtime.
25
4. Be prepared: Before you sit down on the panel, think
about the topic. If they sent out questions in advance,
think about your responses and have some notes. Show
up with a piece of paper, a pen, your notes and room to
make further notes while other panelists are talking

Ideally, the topic of discussion should be important to
enough people that you can involve people with
significantly different interests or backgrounds.
However, avoid the trap of making a topic so general
or vague that the discussion becomes unfocused.
A panel of three to five people usually creates the most
interesting discussion. Look for well-informed people
from a variety of backgrounds.
⢠Inviting at least four people may be safest, in case
someone cancels at the last minute.
⢠Invite these people several weeks in advance at a
minimum, to allow them adequate time to prepare.
PUTTING A PANNEL TOGHER
Select a topic
01
Recriut various participants
02
28
29. Invite a moderator
03
Select an additional person not participating in the panel discussion,
to serve as a moderator. Ideally, He/she should already have
experience moderating panels.
Individual chairs will make the participants appear closer to the
audience than a solid table, encouraging audience participation.
Arranging the seats in a slight circle, still mostly facing the audience,
may help the panelists discuss the topic with each other.
⢠Consider seating the moderator in the middle of the panelists to help
him address and guide each panelist efficiently. Keeping the moderator
at a podium off to one side may make his job more difficult.
Plan the physical setup

31. PLANNING A PANEL DISCUSION
Figure out the goals of the panel
01
Decide how long the Panel should last
02
Make sure all of the participants know why the panel has been
assembled well in advance, so they have time to prepare.
For most panels, especially those taking place at a
conference or other larger event, 45â60 minutes is the
recommended length of time . If the panel is a standalone
event, or if it covers a particularly important and popular
topic, a 90 minute panel may be appropriate.
31
32. Considering Starting with Individual Lectures
03
Try to avoid visual presentation
04
The main focus of the panel should always be a discussion.
However, if one of the panel's main goals is providing
information, this may be a useful way to precede the discussion.
Unless absolutely necessary for the topic, avoid PowerPoint
presentations and slides. They tend to slow down the
discussion, keep audience involvement low, and often bore the
listeners.
PLANNING A PANEL DISCUSION
32
33. Write questions for panelists
05
Plan out the rest of the panel
06
Try to come up with several open-ended questions, which
the panelists can take in a direction best suited to the
course of the discussion and their expertise.
Determine how much time you will set aside for questions;
typically, this constitutes half the panel's length or more.
PLANNING A PANEL DISCUSION
33
34. Introduce the panelists to each other in advance
07
Have the panelists meet in person or attend a conference
call together, a week or more in advance of the panel. They
may briefly determine who should field questions on which
topic, but don't give them the specific questions in advance.
The discussion should be original, not rehearsed.
.

36. Convince people to sit on front row

MODERATING A PANEL DISCUSSION

Briefly introduce the panel to participants
02
The closer the panel is to the audience member, the
more energetic and involved the atmosphere will feel.
Use only one or two sentences to introduce the panel topic,
Introduce each participant briefly, mentioning only a couple
relevant facts about her experience or involvement related
to the topic.
36
37. Involve the audience early
03
MODERATING A PANEL DISCUSSION
3
Ask The Panelist The Prepared Questions
04
Get the audience invested in the panel by asking for their
involvement right away. A simple, quick way to do this is to
begin by asking for a rough poll of their opinion related to the
topic, using a show of hands or applause.
Start going through the questions in the prearranged
order, but don't hesitate to adjust this order if the
discussion moved in a different, interesting direction.
37
38. Follow Through With Your Own Questions As Necessary
05
3
Get a Timekeeper
06
You may deviate from the prepared questions whenever you think it will
benefit from the discussion. In particular, press a panelist with a follow
up question if you think his answer is unsatisfying
You may look at an actual clock offstage or on the opposite wall, if one is
clearly visible. Otherwise, have someone stand at the back of the room with
visible signs saying "10 min," "5 min," and "1 min", holding these up as
appropriate when you are nearing the end of a session.
MODERATING A PANEL DISCUSSION
38
39. Keep the panelists on task
07
3
When a panelist is going on too long, or going off topic,
politely return the discussion to the correct point.
you may choose to let panelists know beforehand what phrases
you'll be using to bring them back on track.
đĽ"You have an interesting point, but let's hear more about ___"
đĽ "Let's see what (other panelist) has to say on that topic,
especially how it relates to __."

50. â
The only thing worse than a dull speech is a dull panel discussion,
where the misery is multiplied by the number of bad panelists. Weâre
accustomed to planning carefully for a big speech, but when it comes
to serving on panels, itâs tempting to just âwing it.â But that does a
major disservice to the audience. Being a good panelist is about more
than just showing up and answering questions.
Itâs not just the moderatorâs responsibility.
TIPS TO ORGANISE EFFECTIVE
PANEL DISCUSION
50
51. â
1. Know Your Audience:
As with a speech, the better you know your audience, the more relevant
your contribution will be. So work with the moderator to understand the
context of the event, who the audience is, and what they know about the
topic. And find out about their concerns, doubts, expectations and mood.
That will be critical to shaping both the content and tone of your
remarks. Do some research of your own if you have to.
TIPS TO ORGANISE EFFECTIVE
PANEL DISCUSION
51
52. â
2. Understand Your Role:
Youâre just one piece of the puzzle; make sure you understand how you fit in.
Why were you invited? Look at the other panelists. What can you contribute
that they canât, and vice-versa? If the moderator organizes a call or video chat
before the event, take that opportunity to help iron out roles. Find out whatâs
going to be asked and feel free to suggest topics or questions that you think
are relevant.
TIPS TO ORGANISE EFFECTIVE
PANEL DISCUSION
52
53. â
3. Have a Goal:
Be strategic. Go into the panel discussion with a specific goal in mind. Do you
want to:
⢠Solve a particular problem the audience has?
⢠Showcase your expertise or your organizationâs capabilities?
Figure out what you want to accomplish, and direct everything you say toward
that goal

TIPS TO ORGANISE EFFECTIVE
PANEL DISCUSION
4. Stick to Your Messages
Taken together, your remarks should amount to more
than a bunch of disjointed responses to questionsâthey
should tell a cohesive story. So boil down your content to
a few key messages. And if a question is not a good fit for
your expertise or priorities, itâs fine to defer to your fellow
panelists
54
55. â
TIPS TO ORGANISE EFFECTIVE
PANEL DISCUSION
5. Prepare Stories
Stories resonate like nothing else. If you want to be
remembered and you want your ideas to stick, few things
beat a well-told story. Come prepared with examples and
stories that capture your points. That will be a lot more
effective than dumping a ton of data and information on
your audience. Keep your stories short and
focused so you donât dominate the conversation
55
56. â
TIPS TO ORGANISE EFFECTIVE
PANEL DISCUSION
6. Listen to the Other Panelists
When the other panelists are talking, donât just spend that
time rehearsing your next bon mot. Listen to what they
have to say and extend the conversation. Refer to points
a fellow panelist has made and build on them (or point
out areas where you respectfully disagree). This makes
for a more fluid and engaging discussion.
56
57. â
TIPS TO ORGANISE EFFECTIVE
PANEL DISCUSION
7. Keep Your Energy Up
Of course, keeping your energy up is essential. A table
creates a literal and figurative barrier between the panel
and the audience. The best panels Iâve seen ditch the table
and use stools instead of chairs. Donât slouch or lean back.
That will drain the energy right out of you. Lean in and stay
physically engaged.
57
58. 1. Start strong:
⢠Online audiences get bored quickly, so start with a short,
interesting hook to grab everyoneâs attention.
⢠Make audience to be leaning into the conversation and
refusing to multitask.
58
2.Be positive:
Always be uplifting. Bring positive energy to the virtual
room.
Compliment the audience and the panelists
. Make it personal by using the panelistsâ first names and
saying the name of the person who submitted the question.
59. 4. Keep the conversation moving:
⢠You kick off the discussion with a few good questions, the
conversation will start to flow on its own.
⢠.Preparation makes the difference between a mediocre panel and
an amazing one
⢠Tell stories that illustrate those points.
3. Select the Q&A format:
⢠As people come into the virtual room, pose a quick question
via the chat box, and
as they answer, welcome them by name .
⢠ask people to âraise their hand,â and invite them in to pose their
question,
59
60. 5.Shift gears:
⢠Youâll have to deliberately mix it up. Take questions
from the chat box, take a quick poll, conduct a
panelist âlightning round,â call on a participant.
⢠The choices are endlessâbut youâll have to think it
through using the technology.
60
61. A Symposium is a kind of a formal
meeting, usually in an academic
organization. The participants of a
symposium are usually a panel of
experts who are specialists in their
fields. It involves having presentations,
and the experts share knowledge and
information. It is more like a series of
presentations and speeches.
A Panel discussion is a meeting where a
group of audience listens to the
discussion by a panel of experts on a
certain topic. A moderator is present who
regulates the proceedings. When a topic
is too difficult to be handled by a single
speaker, the panel of speakers and
specialists participate in the discussion.
It is more like a questions and answers
discussion.
