The Panel Discussion Edition
On conference Q&As, productive debate, and thinking before you speak.
Noah here. Anyone who has sat through a corporate conference has had to deal with the mediocrity that is the panel discussion. Four people who all agree with each other are seated next to one another on stools and asked questions that they may or may not try to duck. It’s by far my least favorite bit of conference programming and hardly ever offers much in the way of interesting content. But at least a lot of people got to be added to the program!
