Panel Discussion

Panel Discussion

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A panel discussion is a moderated conversation between a group of experts or representatives on a shared topic, typically conducted in front of an audience. Each panelist contributes their perspective, and the moderator guides the discussion to ensure balance, depth, and relevance. Panel discussions are common at conferences, industry events, and academic forums. They offer audiences insight into diverse viewpoints and create a more dynamic, conversational alternative to traditional keynote presentations.
