Corporate Event & Conferences Layout
Theatre Style
A theatre-style layout places rows of chairs facing the speaker, stage or presentation area, making it ideal for conferences, presentations, seminars and larger corporate gatherings.
Best suited for:
- Large audiences where maximising seating capacity is important.
- Presentations and talks with limited need for note-taking.
- Shorter sessions where attendees primarily need to focus on the speaker or screen.
- Events with a clear focal point, such a stage, podium or presentation.
Classroom Style
A classroom-style setup arranges tables in rows with chairs facing the front of the room, giving attendees a clear view of the speaker, presentation or screen. A table can also be positioned at the front for pannel discussions or presentations. This layout is ideal for training sessions, workshops and presentation where attendees need both a clear view and their own workspace.
Best suited for:
- Interactive sessions where there is dialogue between the presenter and the audience.
- Training and workshops where attendees need space for notes and materials.
- Presentations where participants require their own table and workspace.
U-Shaped Style
A U-shaped setup arranges conference tables in a U formation, with chairs positioned around the outside. This layout creates an open space in the centre while giving everyone a clear view of the speaker, presentation or other focal point.
It combines the intimacy of a boardroom setting with the flexibility of a presentation and discussion space, making it particularly suitable for small meetings and interactive corporate events.
Best suited for:
- Presentation with up to 25 attendees
- Meetings with a speaker or audio-visual presentation
- Small groups requiring both discussion and presentation space
Conference Style
A conference-style setup can be arranged as several rows of tables or as a single conference table, depending on the number of attendees and the space available. It provides generous workspace for each participant while maintaining clear lines of communication throughout the room.
This layout is ideal for interactive meetings, discussions and collaborative sessions where attendees need to work, communicate and engage with one another.
Best suited for:
- Interactive meetings and sessions
- Events where attendees need ample workspace
- Groups where communication and collaboration are important
Banquet Style
A banquet-style setup is designed for events that combine seated dining with presentations, entertainment or networking. Long rows of tables are arranged parallel to one another, with the option to include a separate table at the front for presenters or panel discussions.
This layout allows guests to enjoy the presentation or entertainment while also interacting with others at their table, making it a versatile choice for larger corporate events. The structured table arrangement also makes it easy to create a clear focal point while maintaining a comfortable dining environment.
Best suited for:
- Large conferences and corporate events followed by a dinner or show
- Events combining a focal point with table interaction, allowing guests to focus on speakers or entertainment while socialising.
- Awards ceremonies, gala dinners and company celebrations.
Banquet Round Style
The banquet round style is a popular event seating arrangement featuring standard round tables that typically seat 8-12 guests per table.
Banquet style setup allows for lively conversation and interaction amongst participants and breaks a large audience into smaller groups.
Best suited for:
- Weddings, gala dinners and formal dining events.
- Events where guest interaction and conversation are important.
- Creating a more social and intimate atmosphere.
