SEAMSC’2022 also welcomes members of the community among the academics, scholars, and industry professionals to participate in the scheduled Panel Sessions that will be conducted in the Live Stream mode.

One of the most common purposes of the panel sessions is to discuss and debate the current issues from the national or global issues, policy-oriented topics, technical-oriented topics, or the breakthrough studies central to the conference theme by bringing a diverse group of experts.

Panel sessions should NOT be organized as a series of segmented individual, and stand-alone presentations.

Panel sessions should be conducted as a collection of diverse viewpoints on thought-provoking topics that were presented in an engaging and interactive manner.

Key Aspects in Panel Sessions:

• Panel moderators and panelists interested in setting up panel sessions are invited to submit the proposed topic of the discussion.

• The panel session topic may cover issues within the scope of the SEAMSC'2022 conference themes.

• However, topics that are relevant to media studies are also welcome.

• Each panel session may comprise one moderator to be the chairperson of the session, and between 3 to 4 qualified panel members and experts in the area of the topic of discussion.

• The panel sessions should NOT be limited to a single perspective but should comprise various standpoints within the scope of the discussion's topic.

• During the session, audiences have the chance to engage in open conversation with the panelists.

• The panel sessions will last around 60 to 90 minutes and will run concurrently within a parallel session.
