Seating configurations
Theatre style
Theatre style seating is considered the best way to maximise space, but does not lend itself to note taking or group interaction. It is ideal for events that feature staged entertainment or speakers.
Round/long
Seating style almost always used at functions that include food. Also for boardroom style seating for groups that gather around one large table.
