Moving the discussion along
• Explain how the session will proceed• Prepare open ended questions in advance• Be sure to introduce each person, especially if
anyone is a last-minute substitute whose name won’t be in the event programme.
• While the panellists are talking listen very carefully and take notes. Wherever possible, capture important statements verbatim. Then use what you’ve heard to invite other panellists to comment on particular parts of other panellists’ statements.
• Keep an eye on time
