Panel Discussions 

Panel discussions are focused sessions with multiple (3-5) participants presenting their contributions under a shared theme. The format of a Panel usually consists of an introduction to the topic by the Chairperson to provide the audience with a background for the ensuing discussion. Participants then present their viewpoints, followed by an exchange of ideas among participants and between the audience and participants. The panel discussion will conclude with comments by the chairperson or a moderator.
