Concept - How it works

• The "Podcast for Politicians" show is a 1.5 hour online-audio show, where invited experts, will give an audio talk, of +/- 15 minutes. (Any additional presentation materials will be available for download before and after the live event.)
• The Politicians' Panel will put the experts to the test, by presenting them with challenges and scenarios to deal with.
  
• The presentations will be followed by a Question-Answer session open to any others in the live audience via audio (telephone) and web conference.
• Your role as a Panel member, would be to review the tools, question the visionaries and experts, and of course, decide which of them you should stay in contact with!
