Room set-up<br />

Popular set-up styles to consider when discussing<br />

venue capacity.<br />

U-SHAPE STYLE<br />

• Seating around three sides<br />

of the room - good for<br />

presentations from front<br />

• Square layout conducive to<br />

discussion<br />

• Presentation space in the<br />

middle of the room<br />

CLASSROOM STYLE<br />

• Used to present to small to<br />

medium groups<br />

• Delegates (in ones or twos)<br />

have own workspace<br />

• Ideal for testing and<br />

individual training<br />

• Tables angled towards<br />

centre<br />

THEATRE STYLE<br />

• Used for product launches,<br />

presentations, displays<br />

• Use to present to large<br />

numbers of delegates<br />

• Allows for optimal room<br />

occupancy<br />

BOARDROOM STYLE<br />

• Centrally located table<br />

• Classic layout ideal for<br />

debate and discussion<br />

• Popular for smaller meetings<br />

CABARET STYLE<br />

• All delegates facing frontcentre<br />

on round tables<br />

• Large space in the middle<br />

of the room<br />

• Ideal for small group work<br />

DINNER STYLE<br />

• Often used for meals and<br />

small group discussions<br />

• A dance floor can be<br />

incorporated<br />

A COCKTAIL STYLE room set-up is usually where everyone stands with roving waitstaff<br />

with finger food/canapés and a drinks bar set up separately. Great for informal short<br />

presentations/launches with a central speaker area but networking is the priority. Remember<br />

some delegates/guests might need to sit, so plan with a few chairs in mind.<br />

Think about how hungry your guests might be - what have they been doing prior to the<br />

function? Self-serve food platters located around the room work really well alongside a cocktail<br />

waiter service.<br />
