How to place the page title and local tasks tab in a Panels region?
If you're just wanting to do that for a single variant, you may need a combination of panels configuration, e.g adding local tasks and page title to region as well as either hook_preprocess_page or perhaps hook_ctools_render_alter to remove the page title and tabs from default output based on path or other criteria.

For example:

template.php

/**
 * hook_preprocess_page
 * Alter variables for the page template
 */
function THEME_preprocess_page(&amp;$vars){
  // If on a node page
  if ($node = menu_get_object('node')) {
    // Remove page title and menu tabs for this node type
    // as they're output in the panel variant instead
    if ($node-&gt;type == 'my_type') {
      $vars['title'] = FALSE;
      $vars['tabs'] = FALSE;
    }
  }

}
