Theater Style Theater-style seating consists of several rows of
chairs facing the front of the room. This arrangement works best
for formal presentations, where participants are focused on the
presenter. Because there are no tables, this arrangement isn't
conducive to taking notes or working on a laptop. Because
participants can't easily take notes in a theater-style
arrangement, you should make the presentation available to
attendees in written or electronic format. This style is one of
the best for large groups, but it should also be noted that some
people are uncomfortable without a desk or table in front of
them. Classroom Style A classroom-style setup uses long, narrow
tables placed in front of rows of chairs - all facing the
speaker. This setup is ideal for formal presentations in front
of medium-sized to large groups where the audience is expected
to take notes. Using the tables, participants can write notes,
work on their laptops or use PDAs. Surge protectors and
extension cords should be strategically placed so that they are
available to everyone, but not in the way. The presenter can use
either a screen or an interactive whiteboard with his computer.
Banquet Style A banquet-style setup consists of several tables
scattered throughout the room. This setup is perfect for small
breakout sessions or collaborative work groups. You shouldn't
use this style for very large groups or seminars where speakers
or presenters will be setup at the front of the room. Smaller
groups usually work best with this style of room. U-Shape Style
A U-shaped arrangement is ideal if participants need to see the
front of the room and work in small groups. Because this style
is conducive to both formal presentations and collaborative
work, it combines the best of both worlds. Meeting or seminar
participants can comfortably watch presentations in the front of
the room, while still maintaining contact with the people around
them.
