Create a free panel discussion page in Seattle

A panel needs a stage, an audience that can see and hear, and speakers worth showing up for. In Seattle you have the venues and the expertise. Set up an event page to handle registrations and share who is on the panel.

Why Seattle is great for these events

Seattle is well suited to a panel, thanks to its tech scene, coffee culture, and waterfront setting. Venues in South Lake Union with a stage and good sightlines, plus a deep bench of local experts, make it easy to assemble a strong panel and an engaged audience.

Frequently asked questions

Can I list the panelists on the event page?

Include panelist names, titles, and bios in your event description. This helps attract registrations by showcasing the expertise your audience will hear from. A strong panelist lineup is your best marketing tool.

How do I manage audience Q&A registration separately?

Use a single event page for the overall panel discussion. If you want to collect audience questions in advance, mention in the description that attendees can email their questions to a specific address after registering.

Is this suitable for virtual panel discussions?

Perfect for them. Select the virtual or hybrid format and include your video call link in the event description. Registered attendees get access to the details, and you get an accurate count of expected viewers.
