Three ways to set the room

Layouts

The room takes other shapes too. Pick the closest on the form and tell us what you have in mind.

Theatre layout: rows of chairs facing the front of the room

Theatre

Approximately 40 to 45 seats

Rows facing the front. The shape for talks, screenings and panels, where everyone is pointed the same way.

Discussion layout: a long table with chairs along it, people facing each other

Discussion

About 15 people

Sitting across from one another, with the table down the middle. The shape for working lunches and conversations that need everyone in earshot.

Fishbowl layout: a few chairs in the center with seating around the edges

Fishbowl

A ring of about 20 observers

A conversation in the center, witnessed by others. Anyone can jump in and tap the other out.
