Functional Programming eXchange 2009: on Parkbench Panel Discussion
Parkbench Panel Discussion
Just after lunch, we'll hold the first ParkBench Panel discussion, led by Robert Pickering, to discuss ideas, stuff we learned during the morning and things we would like to hear more about. Delegates will not only be able to ask their questions to the speakers of the expert talks, but are also actively encouraged to join the panel to express their opinion or share their experience!
Tweet your questions & topics
Throughout the conference, you will be able to post questions, thoughts and opinions on the Parkbench Wall as well as on Twitter #functionalpx
You can also use the non-tech solution by adding the same to our ParkBench wall. The leader of the ParkBench will feature as many questions as possible during the ParkBench, but you will also be able to talk directly with any of the speakers during the breaks.
If you are already inspired, you can tweet using #functionalpx now and we'll be sure to collect your tweets for the eXchange!
Park Bench Panel Discussion – The concept
A Park Bench Panel discussion has in common with a normal panel discussion that it provides a good way for experts to spend some time answering direct questions from the audience. The audience gets to know the experts in a way that is only possible in person and the expert gets a little more exposure to the questions among the audience.
A Park Bench Panel discussion provides something more.
During a Park Bench Panel Discussion, everyone in the audience can join the panel. Four chairs are provided for each Park Bench Panel Discussion. At the start of the discussion, three chairs are taken by the three expert speakers of the last few hours. One chair is left open.
The Park Bench Panel Discussion Leader will introduce some basic rules for the session. The first rule is that anyone in the audience can join the panel, taking the empty chair available. As soon as the empty chair is taken by someone in the audience, one of the current complement of panelists will have to vacate their chair so that there is always exactly one empty chair.
The audience can ask questions, whilst remaining seated in the audience, but anyone who wishes to express an opinion, will have to stand up, join the panel, by taking the empty chair.
The Park Bench Panel Discussion Leader will ensure people adopt the method and that noone on the panel overstays their due time.
Anyone is welcome to rejoin the panel should they find renewed interest in the conversation.
