tips to help the audience engaged in a meaningful and lively discussion.

1. Keep the panel small and focused.Small panel number will be easy

2. Plan the questions ahead oftime. Planning questions will help
you bullet some points todiscuss during the discussion.

3. Openwithabriefreferencetothetopicbeingdiscussed. It is
important to welcome the audience and lead into the topic with a
short hook. A short quote, an analogy, or anecdote will
warmuptheaudienceandhighlighttheimportanceofthe event.

keep people on task, and ensure everyone gets
