The Do's & Don't for a Virtual Panel Discussion

    Do’s

1.     Other Speakers should be researched well. Knowing about the other presenter with whom you will be sharing the stage will make your interaction more smooth. Also, try to understand what additional points they are adding to the discussion and how you can connect to them.

2.     Keep yourself engaged, keep your body language open by passing a smile, or giving a nod while another speaker is addressing the audience to give a feeling to the speaker that you are listening.

3.     Request for the format of the program along with a working agenda, and speaking order. Do ask how we can support each other

    Don’t

1.     Give other speakers also a chance to express their viewpoint by allowing them also to speak.

2.     Be open to asking questions, as it is not important to agree every time. Views can differ. Hence, a lively debate is what makes panel discussions interesting.

3.     Don’t come unprepared, always come prepared with opening statements and closing ones, and highlight the important points to share with the audience along with answers to any tricky questions.

 Virtual Panel discussions, if organized well, provide session value and immense audience influence, which makes them an important part of your Virtual Event.
