PANEL FORMAT
All our panel discussions are 50 minutes long - 40 minutes of discussion, followed by a 10-minute Q and A with the audience.
Each panel will have a moderator and 4-5 other speakers in the discussion. This is an informal panel discussion and there are no slides needed. Each speaker will submit 2 talking points/questions for the moderator to raise during the discussion.
You will be introduced to your panel at least 5 weeks before the event, via an individual email thread. When panels are introduced, you will be asked to share your speaking points and these can be formatted as statements, questions, bullet points, and case studies - whichever format you would prefer.
Your moderator will set up a prep call ahead of the event in order to prepare for the session. You'll also have access to the VIP lounge at the event, so please feel free to meet up there with your panel beforehand, to grab refreshments and relax before your session.
