Example room sizes
Conference room set with rows of chairs facing the front

Rows with real aisles

Place rows of seats and leave gaps for the aisles the venue needs, so the plan matches the room.

Reserved seats for speakers

Hold the front rows for speakers, sponsors and press, and see them in their own colour.

What is theater style seating?

Rows of chairs facing a stage, with no tables. It fits the most people in a room, roughly one chair per square metre in a planning guide, and suits keynotes, talks and ceremonies.

What is classroom style seating?

Rows of long tables with chairs facing the front. It fits fewer people than theater style, roughly 1.9 square metres per seat in a planning guide, but everyone gets a surface to write on or put a laptop.

Can I plan several rooms for one conference?

Yes. Make a chart for each room: the plenary, each breakout and the lunch. Each one exports to its own PDF for the AV team and the caterer.

How accurate are the capacity figures?

They are guides, not fire-code limits. Pillars, aisles, a stage and exits all take space, so check the final count with your venue. The editor lets you place seats in your exact room.

Your hall, laid out before lunch
