Tony Pierce leaves a recent blog conference with some rules for running a successful panel. These apply to almost everything. Can’t think of where they wouldn’t help – even the funny hats.

• blogging conferences should have extention cords and outlets just as available as chairs
• panels should be limited to one moderator, two panelists, a three minute intro, a twenty minute discussion, and a ten minute q & a
• anyone who takes the stage needs to come prepared with a joke
• blogging conferences should have really good wifi capable of handling all the bloggers in the room
• everyone should have to wear a funny hat on the last day of the panel
