Favorite conference panels?

March 1st, 2007 Posted in Events and Speaking

Coming up soon it’s panel time!

Next weekend I’ll be moderating a panel at SXSW:
Community Ecology: Finding Balance When Working with Fan Groups

Then it’s off to Vegas for Community 2.0 where I’m a panel member:
Community-Based Innovation

All this panel discussion has kicked off some thinking about the best panels I’ve seen over the years.

What are your favorite panels? What are the greats, the ones that stuck out to you?

    I’m not a big panel fan – well, perhaps better stated, the panel format is overused and abused. So I am picky.The best panels have been where:* there was a diversity of opinion and a skill to generatively explore that diversity* panelists listened to each other and played off of each other’s ideas (rather than make their 10 minute pitch and glaze over)* the moderator skillfully wove things together * the moderator skillfully brought in the voice of the audience* someone charted visually the conversation (which can be shared at the moment and later as an artifact of the panel.
