These panel sessions provides an opportunity for the exploration of current issues and emerging opportunities. They offer an interactive forum that engages panelists and audience in lively discussion of important and often controversial issues. Our main aim is that the panels should be lively, interactive, informative and relevant. The issues, panelists and their positions should be controversial to raise interest. The panel should attempt to transmit a clear message.
