Panels at Events (conferences, trade shows) are essentially the seafood extender of the event.
They are the blunt instrument of lazy organisers who have access to high-powered guests but don’t know what to do with them.
So they organise a ‘panel’ and then insert an unprepared moderator to shotgun questions at intelligent panel members, but hold them to strict times that limit them to giving nothing more than fortune cookie wisdom sound bites.
