- Welcome to the first video in the 7-part video e-course on Powerful Panels: How to Moderate a Lively and Informative Panel Discussion with professional panel moderator Kristin Arnold.
This first video focuses on what a panel is...and is not.
A panel discussion is a specific format used in a meeting, conference or convention. It is a live or virtual discussion about a specific topic amongst a selected group of panelists who share differing perspectives in front of a larger audience.
The panel is typically facilitated by a "moderator" who guides the panel and the audience through the event.
The panel, typically 3-4 experts or practitioners in the field, shares facts, offers opinions and responds to audience questions either through questions curated by the moderator or taken from the audience directly.
The panel session typically lasts for 60-90 minutes.
A panel discussion is NOT:
A set of presentations, one after another.
A one-on-one interview with each panelist.
Just Q&A from the audience.
A roundtable discussion.
Not that any of these formats are bad; they are different than and an alternative to a panel discussion. Just call it like you see it, be it a panel, presentation, interview or forum.
Use a panel when you believe the group of panelists will generate something more interesting than any one individual panel member could generate on his/her own.

how about balancing the left and right audio before uploading a video
Who's here because of their English teacher? 🤚
Did your English teacher suggest this series of videos? Interesting!
This video series was extremely helpful. I watched the 7 videos prior to moderating my first panel and they helped so much. I especially found value in your remarks about Making it all about the audience, Stirring up some controversy, Adding in some humor in the beginning, and Telling the audience that you will be going to them for questions in a moment.
I highly recommend this series to panel moderators.
+JJF2530 Glad to hear you liked the video series and delighted to help you successfully moderate your first panel!
Thank you !!! You saved me. This series is perfect as I have just been asked to moderate a panel and I was so nervous until I watched your series. THANKS !!!
Thanks, Ian! So glad to hear this has been helpful! Let me know how your panel goes!
Kristin, thank you so much! Been in business 40 years but have never been invited to moderate a panel at a conference so this was a new experience for me. Like all new things a degree of stress caused by fear of doing a less than stellar job in front of a roomful of potential clients. Took copious notes on every one of the 7 lessons, internalized and applied. The organizer told me that my panel was the most talked-about session among the attendees after the event. You've inspired me to create a UA-cam series passing along what I know about my specialty.
Excellent news! So glad the videos were helpful and inspired you as well!
I got dropped into Panel Discussion Leader an hour before I was supposed to go to sleep so I'm trying to cram as much as humanly possible in the next 3 hours. :|
Hope these videos were helpful, Braulio!
so how did it go....
I thought I didn't need this, but I left the video feeling like I struck gold. Insightful and informative!
Aw, shucks! You just made my day! :-)
thank you KRISTIN, i'm about to moderate a panel discussion in 14- december about reliability culture for sabic company. i'll let you know how it is later, thank you & this series helps alot :)
Excellent news! Glad the videos were helpful - and please let me know how it works out!
Love it!! I thrust myself into setting up a panel discussion for young creative's who want to take their skills and abilities to the next level and I didn't really know how to structure the discussion. This has helped tremendously to put me in the right direction. Looking forward to the rest of the series
Excellent! Glad to help! Enjoy the rest of the series!
But it would help A LOT if the videos were numbered. I can't tell which video is series 2 or series 3 or etc.
Excellent idea, Chris! I've just numbered the videos in the 7 part series. :-)
Thanks! :)
