Making Conference Panel Presentations Extraordinary
Kristin Arnold knows her role is to be the producer/director of your conference panel presentation– not the star. Your panel presenters and participants are the stars and Kristin provides the process skills and techniques to make your panel discussion extraordinary, thus making you a star for putting together a terrific panel presentation.
Kristin is adept at making ordinary panel presentations extraordinary through a lively, engaging, audience-centered delivery. She ensures there is audience/ panel participation, the information presented is useful and the presentation starts and stops on time.
How Kristin Makes Panel Presentations ROCK!
Team Focus
To start, Kristin will have a conversation with the meeting team to clarify the purpose of the panel and desired outcomes such as
- Provide different perspectives on controversial issues.
- Explore multiple angles of a complex topic.
- Answer participant questions about an important topic.
Engagement
The best panels have a great chemistry with the moderator and with each other – as well as provide relevant, meaningful information to the participants. Kristin will work with the panelists to ensure they present the right amount of material given the time constraints, they provide meaningful take-aways (both verbal and as a handout), and that they respond appropriately to participant questions.
Kristin will coordinate event logistics with the property to include seating options and audio-visual support, as well as using emerging technologies such as electronic polling of participants.
Action
Kristin will facilitate the panel discussion to meet the panel objectives by:
- Providing structure and control to guide the flow of the session.
- Ensuring lively balanced audience participation.
- Making segues and summarizing the conversations, while highlighting key points to remember
- Being humorous, where appropriate.
Momentum
We will then summarize the key points in a written report immediately following the session. You can reinforce these points in follow up emails, newsletters and talking points.
