Instruction for Panel Discussion proposal

Panel discussions consist of up to four panelists and run for 45 minutes. The panel discussion will be moderated by the session chair. Panel members will be invited to respond to specific questions from the moderator that aim to explore the topic. These responses form the basis for discussion between the speakers themselves and the audience regarding the topic.
