What's the difference between a "main stage speech" and a "panel speech"?

Question

So our company is intended to participate in one of the meetings and give a speech. And the host offered two different speech types, a "main stage speech" and a "panel speech" with different prices. From my understanding, the panel is like a discussion group. So a panel speech is like to do speech in a group? Can someone help to explain what's their differences and what exactly is a panel speech?

Answer 1

I believe that a "main stage" speech is more like a keynote speaker - one person standing up and presenting to the audience - with follow-up questioning. A "panel speech" is a panel group of speakers that presents and then the audience can ask different members of the panel follow-up questions. The panel speakers can be from the same company and can cover different topics or panel speakers may be from different companies who are there to share their particular expertise on the topic of discussion. Good luck!
