Talks & Panels events in Eastbourne
Talks and panels are for hearing how other people do it. A founder tells the story of building their business, a panel debates the future of the high street, or a speaker shares what's worked for them in hiring, growth or sustainability. You mostly listen, then join the questions at the end. They often run in the early evening and finish with drinks, which makes them an easy way to meet people with a ready-made topic of conversation. Each listing names the speakers where the organiser has announced them.

Questions
What's the difference between a talk and a seminar?
A talk or panel is about experience and ideas, often with several voices. A seminar teaches a specific subject in depth. Both are listed, each under its own category.
Can I ask questions at a panel event?
Most talks and panels end with audience questions, and some take them in advance. The event description says how it runs when the organiser shares it.
Are talks recorded?
Some organisers record or share slides afterwards, but most local events are in person only. The organiser's page has the details.
