My preference for a session for an audience to explore after a speaker is
to use the Open Forum process described by Robert Jacobs in Real Time
Strategic Change

* what did we hear (because everyone will have heard something
different)
* what are our reactions
* what questions of understanding do we have

the idea is for people to do some integration first and to seek to see the
world through the eyes of the speaker - the questions to learn more about
their perspective ..
