Advice on how to draft a single index card that will help you moderate better panel discussions.
This is based on my Harvard Business Review piece, "How to Moderate a Panel Like a Pro"...and on-stage experience running hundreds of panels (really) at events like SXSW, the Consumer Electronics Show, the Sundance Film Festival, Agenda, the Connected Healthcare Symposium, the Churchill Club, MIT's R&D Conference, the Direct Marketing Association Annual Conference, various National Association of Broadcasters gatherings, the Producers Guild of America, etc.

I’ve moderated a number of panels over the years, and I sometimes return back to podcasts or KZfaq to advance my practice. This has been the best and most informative version. It offers a great perspective on having a fantastic flow that most likely resonates well with an audience.

Thank you so much Scott! Combining this awesome idea with what I learned from Kristin Arnold's 7 part KZfaq lessons about moderating, my very first ever panel was the most talked-about session among the C level attendees of the conference. I did trash about 30 index cards to get one right but an outstanding 'hack' for any moderator.

@scottkirsner4493 11 ай бұрын

Yes, you will use a few index cards with this method! Glad your panel was a hit!

Great tips. Thank you so much! I'm designing a panel of 5 rookie panelits, and I think of presenting on a slide the 2 or 3 questions each panelist will snswer in 5 min, including tell us s story... Then once they are done, ask just one question about an opportunities from their perspective to elaborate in 1 min. Then audience Q&A. How this dynamic looks to you? Thanks for the feedback!
