HOW TO ORGANIZE A PANEL DISCUSSION

1. Keep the panel small and focused. Small panel

number will be easy to manage and to flesh out
all points of view.

2. Plan the questions ahead of time. Planning

questions will help you bullet some points to
discuss during the discussion.
3. Open with a brief reference to the topic being
discussed. It is important to welcome the audience
and lead into the topic with a short hook. A short
quote, an analogy, or anecdote will warm up the
audience and highlight the importance of the
event.

4. Keep the focus on the panel, not on you.

Maintain an appropriate tone, keep people on
task, and ensure everyone gets ample time to
present his or her point of view.
5. Prepare your “cut-off phrases” ahead of time.
Having some preplanned cut-of phrases will help
filter the long-winded ramble of topics. Using this
tactic will keep the discussion focused and on
time.
ACTIVITY 2

and you need to address the issue on imposing
