In hard times many people take solace and comfort from the beach. This panel of papers actually written at some of the world’s coolest beaches explores the depths of beach communication with a focus on important aspects of relational communication occurring sunbathing and more.

Here is a sample hypothetical co-sponsored panel without papers:

The Rhetoric of Social Loafing

H. E. Lazy
Slow River State
Participants:
No Wey
Reluctant State University
L. A. Back
Trans-Somnambulist University
A. Void
Ethereal College
When literacy was discovered at one university, inter-organizational cooperation resulted in implementation of a program to successfully avoid the problem. Panelists will discuss the rhetorical and communication challenges faced, from interpersonal to organizational to inter-organizational, as they effectively relaxed the workplace setting by improving employees’ social loafing skills.

Panels may have a "moderator" rather than a "chair"--but must have one or the other.  Respondents are not required, but are recommended for panels with papers.  The term discussant may be used if desired. 

One or two sentence descriptions or explanations should be used sparingly and should follow the rest of the program copy.
