his setup is often used for smaller groups where everyone is able to freely communicate with one another and there is a shared workspace. It is arranged with one oval or rectangular table with chairs all around. This style is also used for discussion groups, committee meetings, and Board of Directors meetings as long as the group will be small.
This setting will also not work if you plan to have any type of audio-visual presentation or a head speaker. If you’re looking for a setup that encourages interaction, has decent shared workspace, and will include only a small group of participants then the boardroom setup should work perfectly.
Deciding on the right set-up is essential for a productive meeting. By doing a little preparation and choosing the right setup style you can be sure that your next meeting is a success.
