bringing together at least four experts offering new or controversial insights.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Panel sessions are 90 minutes long. Successful panel
proposals should be able to answer these following questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Focus of panel: What is the theme of the panel? Who is
the target audience? What will the audience get from attending the panel?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Panelists: Who is going to chair the panel and ensure
that it runs successfully? Who are the panelists? What position will they
represent?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>- Structure of panel: How will the panel be structured?
How will the panel involve the audience?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
