Traditional Panels

A traditional themed panel typically consists of:

3-4 individual paper presentations with some point of commonality
+ a panel chairperson who introduces panelists, keeps time, and moderates the Q&A
+ a commenter who concludes with summative remarks (chair and commenter may be the same person)
The session is then open for Q&A from the audience.

Do you need another participant? Check out the WAWH Collaboration Spreadsheet.
