These are facilitated discussions on a topic, with a chair posing questions to a group of panellists. The panel can begin with each participant presenting a short introduction to their work, but this should remain brief.

We'd prefer panels to have back-and-forth discussion around a particular theme, rather than a series of presentations.

Panels should be made up of a maximum of five people, to fit to a 90 minute time slot (1 hour curated discussion, with 30 minutes for audience questions and interaction would be ideal). 

Applications for 'Fireside Chat' style panels are also welcomed, featuring an interviewer in conversation with a single panellist. 

Panels with a mix of academic, creative practice, and business participants are preferred, and efforts should be made to ensure that your panel is diverse.
