Re: Postgres Women talk at pgconfeu

Hi Ilaria,

A panel is quite different from a talk as :

- there are several people on stage
- there is (normally) no slide
- a moderator/leader is asking questions to the panel (people on stage)
- it lasts around 20 minutes and for the 20-30 minutes that come after, the
audience is asking questions

I hope this is helpful.

Lætitia
