Work out conference room layout capacity instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Conference layouts differ sharply in space efficiency. Classroom seating fits the most delegates because rows share circulation, while U-shape and hollow square are perimeter-limited: capacity depends on the usable perimeter, not the area, once the room exceeds a certain size.
Usable area
Usable area = (Room length - Stage depth) x Room width
Capacity
Capacity = Usable area / Area per delegate for the setup
Because delegates sit only on the outside of the tables. Beyond about 25 people the layout becomes impractical regardless of room size.
Sightlines to the screen, column positions, air handling capacity and the number and width of exits.
