HPR4368: Lessons learned moderating technical discussion panels

23h ago

MP3•Episode home

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.

Lessons I've learned moderating 5+ tech panels:

Preparation:

Be familiar with the panelists and their subject matter.
Avoid asking common questions.
Set up the stage using a semicircle arrangement rather than formal tables to promote dialogue between panelists.
Ensure that each panelist has their own microphone to prevent any accidental dominance in the discussion.

Execution:

Set a friendly and informal tone before the panel starts to help nervous panelists relax.
Involve the audience by encouraging questions and conducting polls to increase engagement.
Use a central microphone for audience questions to avoid delays and maintain a smooth flow.
Listen carefully to questions and rephrase them if necessary to ensure clarity for the panelists.
Know when to politely wrap up discussions to keep the conversation moving.
