Ideally panelists are in a private, well-lit room and the background is simple and uncluttered.<\/li>\n<li>Adjust the camera angle to hit mid-chest of each speaker \u2013 you want to be able to see any hand gestures and this angle helps your panelists avoid being a \u201cbobbing head\u201d on the screen.<\/li>\n<li>Draft a script for your panel, and include prompts for who should respond to each question, to ensure the panel goes smoothly and panelists don\u2019t talk over each other.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong><u>Technology is your friend<\/u><\/strong>.<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>We conducted our panel using Zoom, using active speaker mode. Active speaker mode, where only one person is visible while they are talking, is an effective way to ensure that viewers focus on the speaker and avoid distractions. If you choose to record in active speaker mode, make sure the other panelists know it\u2019s critical to not interrupt, because the camera will switch over to whoever is speaking at that moment, making for a not-so-great viewer experience.<\/li>\n<li>If possible, have speakers connect to wired internet rather than WiFi and ensure your connection is stable.<\/li>\n<li>Consider pre-recording the panel to avoid \u201c<em>day-of<\/em>\u201d technical difficulties<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong><u>Think through the day-of logistics<\/u><\/strong>.<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Identify someone on your team to have a private DM chat line with the moderator to give a head\u2019s up if you run into any timing constraints, so he\/she can move along the discussion.<\/li>\n<li>As part of the introduction to your virtual panel, have the moderator introduce everyone, giving each panelist an opportunity to say a brief hello, which allows conference attendees to identify each speaker. <strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: Update titles on the screen during your test run, so the title mention includes the speaker\u2019s name as well as their official title.<\/li>\n<li>Have presenters close out of all programs on the computer they will use for the presentation, including all messaging services like Slack, to remove distractions. And to be on the safe side, have physical printouts of your panel\u2019s questions and key messages available for easy reference.<\/li>\n<li>Each speaker should have a glass of water at the ready, as well as a notepad and pen to capture anything that he\/she may want follow-up with after the panel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong><u>Build in engaging elements and share the news.<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Our virtual panel for the RX Drug Abuse &amp; Heroin Summit was pre-recorded, but the team still wanted to make sure we had engaging elements as part of the experience.

Once you have the list, you can share the link and key callouts after the event concludes.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure to record your session to share your hard work with customers, prospects, leads and internal team members.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As more brands adapt to the new normal, marketers and corporate communications professionals will likely see more shifts to digital platforms. We shouldn\u2019t be afraid of that change. By following these tips for an all-digital panel, you\u2019ll still be able to share information with your target audience in an engaging and effective way. And there are advantages of hosting a virtual panel \u2013 one benefit is that more people can \u201cattend\u201d your session since you\u2019re not limited to room size as you would be at an in-person conference. Because of this very reason, the Deterra panel was seen by more than <strong>two times<\/strong> the in-person conference room count.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in watching the Rx Summit virtual panel we referenced as part of this post, <a href=\"https:\/\/deterrasystem.com\/rx-summit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">check it out here<\/a>.\u00a0Want to learn more about how our Maccabee PR firm can help you with <i>your<\/i> next virtual panel?
