Panel Session 2.0

June 04, 2009

At the Parks Associates Connections conference, panel sessions accepted questions via text or Web (or, yes, Twitter). The results got shown on the presentation screen at the front of the room. Speak to Us Questions began at the bottom ("Test Message"), with new ones added to the top of the list.

It sounded like just a gimmick at first, but it had its usefulness. The questions piled up quickly without anybody having to interrupt the current question. The moderator, Parks analyst Jayant Dasari in this case, could pick and choose topics. While he didn't get to most of the questions, the concept seemed to work. Attendees even answered each other's questions, in cases where the answers were simple. And Dasari said at the end that he'd be posting the unanswered questions to the Web, with answers provided by Parks analysts or, in a few cases, the panelists.
