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.
