What is format of the panel?
The format of the panel really depends on what you decide after communicating with the other speakers on your panel. One approach is to have each speaker make a short (5-7 minute) presentation on the topic at hand. Then save the last part of panel for discussion. The other approach here is to forego the presentations and move straight into a discussion. Again, please communicate with the other speakers on your panel to decide which approach works best for your particular session.
