I've only moderated one or two panel discussions in my life, and they were with people internal to my company, so a much lower pressure situation.
But I have been the guy who runs the crowd mic at big industry panels such as the one you describe. I understand the stress. You'll do great. The people who speak at these things speak at dozens of panels each year, good or bad you'll soon be forgotten.

if i can suggest one thing, starting out as a public speaker, don't try to win ppl over with subtle wit, especially in this format. that's something you'd work up to over time as you get a sense of how audiences react to you. just be straightforward, veering on boring. it's better that people think your personality is limp than you're insecure and seeking approval. stick to the issues, think of a few different ways of looking at them, and above all else remember you're the only one who really cares who well you do, barring some massive tearful, diarrhea-expelling breakdown. i find pretty quickly in situations like that the louder you make your voice from the beginning, the more in control you feel. embrace it and people will respect that even if they think you might be full of shit

Update. Just took a beta blocker beforehand, and the panel was the easiest thing in the world. It was like I was talking in my office with colleagues. I actually wish I could do panels all the time.
That shit is the fucking wonder drug.
