It is an honor to lead or take part in a panel. It shows your work is respected and you are considered a thought leader in your field. But proper preparation is key to leveraging this opportunity to full advantage. As a moderator, you have to research your panelists and their positions. You need a game plan to facilitate a conversation and illuminate issues and opinions. As a panelist, you have to be ready to promote your ideas, handle possible conflicts, and field unexpected questions.
