A panelconsists of several participants, generally three to five, who present diverse perspectives on a topic, typically describing a variety of viewpoints or experiences. Panels are held during a 75-minute conference session, and presentations should be kept to a length that allows about a third of the time to be devoted to discussion among panelists and with the audience.

Instructions for submitting panels
A tutorial is different from a panel in that it involves instruction rather than discussion. The tutorial presenter is an "expert" in the field, and the attendees are usually novices. Tutorials are usually 75 minutes long, and are held during one of the conference sessions.

A workshop is more in-depth than a tutorial. Preferably, it involves active learning activities (hands-on or "pen-and-paper" exercises). The presenter is an "expert" in the field. Workshops are usually 3 hours long, and are held before the conference.
