"Talk matter" Guide book of the Role for The Featured Topic Master

Unlike News session, Featured Topic session is where Guests and Participants can actively share their opinion(even interrupt while you present).

As the session leader, you are recommended to prepare the topic that can be either informative(people can ask question more and interact to share the knowledge) or discussable and if you decided to have discussion, please be active discussion facilitator.

Before the session begin, you are expected to share what type of session it will be(either information sharing or discussion oriented), and what's the expected action from all the participants.

In this session, people tend to talk more freely than other session so if you are making presentation or conduct the debate session, please give more chance to the people to voice up as long as it's related to the topic.
