In every Webex Events, there are two types of participants, Panelists and Attendees.
Attendees are people who are receiving the information and asking the questions. They don't need to have a Webex Events account but can be made a panelist by the host.
They can utilize the Q&A functionality to send questions throughout the events, and also vote in polls posed to the audience.
Panelists are people who are in charge of managing the events, like the host, presenter and other people assistingduring the event. Each has their own unique role to play in the Event and the functionalities they can access reflect this.
