The Chat Show (also called a Talk Show) is a meeting or workshop activity similar to a television talk show, with a host who interviews one or more guests. It is widely used as a dynamic and creative alternative to panel discussions, and is useful for sharing knowledge from guests who are experts or influential persons. A Chat Show usually focuses on a preselected theme. The key to the Chat Show’s appeal is its informal approach to the Q&A process, which puts guests at ease while engaging the audience.
