The most effective boardroom format is the one that suits the size of your group, the meeting topic and desired level of interaction. Each layout has advantages and disadvantages. There are also several other factors that impact the success of a workshop or conference.

The traditional layout of a boardroom is a large table placed in the middle of the room, with chairs set around it. Typically, it is used for agenda-driven meetings and video conferences that require discussion, this type of layout can accommodate up to 25 people. This type of conference is for groups with a designated leader who will keep the group on track and guide the group.

The classroom layout is similar to a conference table, but with the tables closer together. It can seat up to 20 people and improves the participants’ view. This style can be better designed for workshops that have smaller groups and group discussions rather than the layout of a boardroom which can feel cramped for certain.

Another popular option for workshops or presentations with more people the theater layout includes rows of seats that face towards the front of the room. This setup puts the audience in the spotlight and allows speakers to concentrate their attention on specific delegates or segments. This setup may not be as engaging, but it can keep the audience engaged and focused for longer sessions that last more than an hour.
