But what makes a great conference panel ?
At BBA we prepare a lot of people so they look good on conference panel sessions. The real value comes from good planning. But, if you are heading for a conference panel now and want to ensure a performance that will make you look good and stand out, check that you do these three things:
- Focus only on what really matters to this audience and give lots of practical advice. Tell stories and give examples.
- Create a debate. Disagree. Have an opinion and argue your corner. Use lines that are quotable.
- Sit forward, speak up and talk directly to the audience. Show your passion; make sure every word and every phrase hits home.
Good Luck!
