Have you been to a panel discussion before and thought…Who are these people? Who picked them? Did they prepare? What are they even talking about? I know I’ve attended conference sessions and thought a bunch of those things.
A panel is best when it is informative and you have experts sharing information of VALUE.
On July 18th, I am speaking on a panel with some of Toronto’s most rad people: Alex, Erin, Joseph, and Nicolemoderated by Sonya. We ‘re taking a playful look at the panel discussion and how to get the most from them.
Some of the topics that will be discussed will include:
- How to pick a panel
- How to prep for a panel
- What makes a panel work
- How to drive people to an event
- Examining different panel archetypes
- Panel Etiquette
- Good and bad introductions
- Speaking in soundbytes 101 – Speaking 140 chars at a time
- Panel Pet Peeves
- Moderating 101
Hope you make it out to MaRS at College & University to hear us. This team has heaps of experience and I’m honored they chose me to be part of it. Tickets are FREE too.
Rad!
As a newcomer to your site and posts I check out your archives every now and then, usually when your site has not changed since the last time I’ve snooped on. So don’t lose those, in time I will get around to all of them. You are inspiring and you started this blog as a way to look back on all you’ve done. Let others look back and take in all you’ve done and keep doing what you do. Blogging is growing, take the good with the bad, and truck on and push the limits. As a fellow C-Bridge, C-dot, Lamebridge- er? Fuck it. Them, and the world. Things will fall in place as need be. Take it, roll wit it, and spring up when no one is watching.
Thanks! From the Bridge too eh. Nice. I’m trying to take over the worllllllllllllllllld!
