Frequently Asked Questions




Explore Philadelphia venues with a stage for panel discussions

Panel discussions are one of the more unique ways of sharing information with an audience. You bring together several experts in a topic, industry, or field, and have them hold a structured conversation. The panel discussion usually lasts an hour, giving the discussion participants a chance to bounce ideas off of each other and share counterpoints.
Panel discussions are meant to be more entertaining since the conversation has a more organic flow to it. And at the end, audience members usually get a chance to ask questions of the discussion group. The particular flow of a panel discussion means that the venue has to allow the audience a good view of the discussion. At the same time, the audience can't be too remote since the Q&A period is an important element. That's why panel discussions are most often held in venues designed for them. Or you can choose an educational venue like a lecture hall, conference room, meeting room, or a university classroom for a panel discussion!

Philadelphia venues with audio-visual equipment for panel discussions

Panel discussions should be held in medium to large venues with a main area for the participants to speak in front of the audience. Auditoriums, theaters, and stages are good choices since you have a clear viewing area for the audience and good acoustics for the discussion. Audio-visual equipment often comes with these rentals as well, including speakers, microphones, smart boards, and projector screens for graphics or presentations.
Consider the WiFi speed of the venue as well if you expect audience members to look up new information during the panel discussion. Coworking spaces, library conference rooms, office buildings, and auditoriums within universities and other modern educational institutions will be the best equipped when it comes to technology.

Panel discussion venues with breakout rooms in Philadelphia

Once your panel discussion reaches a critical point it's a good idea to give audience members a chance to have separate discussion about the topic. Breakout rooms are the best way to keep the event organized and flowing naturally. Business event centers, convention centers, coworking spaces, and office buildings that have panel discussion rooms all have breakout rooms in other parts of the venue. Breakout rooms include tables, chairs, boards for important graphics, and other elements to keep the conversation on track until you bring everyone back into the panel discussion room for follow up questions and discussions.

Reviews for speaker panel venues

Midtown Event Space with Natural Light
This event space was the perfect raw space for our pop-up art exhibit and panel discussion. We were really able to transform the space. Guests walked away from the night really impressed with the space. Juan and Laura were great throughout the process...
Michael T.
Spacious Theatre Event Space in Historic NOHO
Extremely responsive host. Space was as advertised (and I'd say even better than expected). One note that I didn't see through Peerspace was that there is a 4-hour minimum rental. I ran a panel discussion in the venue, and found Marc and team incredibly...

Spacious Theatre Event Space in Historic NOHO
the venue team made sure our brand came through. We had 100 guests through the door. Everyone had a seat for our panel discussion and room at the bar. We got lots of compliments throughout the night on the space! Looking forward to throwing more events here...
