Seminars & Roundtables

Dialogue Society organises weekly seminars, panel discussions and roundtable events providing a platform for dynamic, interactive and open dialogue on a range of issues that fall within our remit of interest. These events attract policy-makers, academics, researchers, journalists, professionals, students, community leaders and civil society organisation representatives of different backgrounds and convictions. It is through this open, engaging and expansive platform that speakers and members of the audience enter into constructive and critical dialogue on a miscellany of issues affecting their personal, professional and communal lives.

Seminars and panel discussions take place in the evening during weekdays. The main presentation lasts between 45-60 minutes followed by a forty five minute Q&A. The event is concluded with a thirty minute networking session during which panellists and members of the audience are encouraged to meet one another while light refreshments and snacks are served. These events usually attract an audience between 35-50 people. Seminars and panel discussions are always open to the public with prior online registration encouraged to regulate numbers.

Roundtable events are by invitation only for a group of sixteen invitees determined on the basis of the speaker’s profile and the title of discussion. These events attract leading figures from the political, academic and media world. Roundtable events begin with a thirty minute soft drinks reception. Guests are then escorted to the main hall where seating is pre-arranged. The main speaker addresses the group for 25 minutes on the title followed by open and interactive discussion and Q&A while lunch or dinner is served. Discussions are chaired to facilitate lively exchange.
