Presentation Format
Panels have a very open
presentation format. They are typically 100 minutes
long and have four panelists in addition to the moderator.
Shorter panels and panels with as few as two panelists, such
as one-on-one debates, will also be considered. The moderator's primary resonsibility is to
guide the discussion. The moderator should ensure lively and spirited
debate that is always respectful to all parties, provide
equal time to all panelists, and act as an objective
observer of the discussion.
Panelists typically give introductory remarks, but those remarks should
be brief. The moderator can provide some advance questions to the panelists so they don't feel the need to cover everything
in their introductory remarks. Remember that panels are about
discussions, not long presentations.
Panels may revolve around one central question, focus on a particular
set of problems, or focus on metholodogy.
We are also open to non-traditional panels, so if you feel a different
format best suites your topic let us know in your topic submission.
