Conference Presenting – Rule 2 – Being The Chair

Was pleased to take part in a panel discussion recently. It was chaired by Robert Dunsmore, who did a great job…..

How do I know this?

Well, experience tells me he had done his homework, he

– understood the audience

– had prepared questions for the panelists

– done background research on them

– had a clear idea about the issues and

– at the end thanked the panelists for their participation. 

….during the debate, didn’t interrupt the panelists, nor any of the audience members who wanted to make a contribution.

He also ensured that the debate started and finished on time.

In short, he was first-class…so, Rule 2 of conference presenting (when your a chair of a panel) is to “take and keep control”

Looking pensive with Nick De Bois and Robert Dunsmore!
