1. THEATRE STYLE
With its optimum use of space this layout is ideally suited for
presentations from 20 – 240 people. Visual aids such as an OHP, flipchart or
screen can be set up at the front of the room next to the speaker’s desk.
For power point presentations we can acquire an LCD projector at a small fee
to the client. Microphones or hearing loops can also be incorporated if
needed.
2. U-SHAPED STYLE
A popular arrangement for training programmes or presentations not best
suited for huge amounts of people 40-50 max. It allows the speaker to
interact with the delegates ‘up close & personal’. Again various visual aids
can be placed at the front of the room to assist the speaker.
3. CLASSROOM STYLE
The ideal seating plan for formal working meetings. This set up ensures that
all eyes are at the speaker; it also gives delegates plenty working space.
4. HOLLOW SQUARE
Most suited for formal discussions where no video or visual aids are
required as not every one would be able to view at the same time. Ideal for
delegates as it allows great interaction with on another; other being able
to throw ideas back and forth easily. Good for informal ‘over dinner
meetings’ too.
5. BOARDROOM STYLE
As above, better for formal “members of the board” style meetings hence the
name. The directors can sit at the far end and listen to all ideas & points
and still be able to view any diagrams that can be presented from the other
end.
6. OVAL or ROUND
Suited for small dinner parties or informal conferences. Best suited where
visual aids don’t need to be used as not all delegates will be able to see
at the same time.
7. BANQUETING
Ideal for large numbers 150+ and creates a pleasant social atmosphere. Great
for formal or informal dinner parties or weddings.
8. CABARET STYLE
Ideal for formal lunches and dinners or conferences where there is a guest
speaker who will be the centre of attention. Again ideal for presentations
where visual displays are required. Guests will be ensured plenty of room
for paper work on the large tables.
9. INFORMAL STYLE
Very Popular arrangement for cocktail parties or informal dinner parties
because of its flexible arrangement.
