What are conference rooms and what are they for?
The conference hall is a special room that is equipped with microphones and cinema halls for holding official meetings.
The conference hall serves as a kind of alternative to the office room. Only they have a significant difference - the area. As a rule, office rooms are not large, so it is quite difficult to accommodate people and at the same time create a working environment. In connection with this problem, conference rooms were invented. Meeting rooms have a large area, good and high-quality equipment. What are seminar rooms usually used for, what types are there?
- for holding important international meetings with partners from another country. It is important to make a good impression on people from another country, the hall always looks neat and businesslike.
- also in such premises, scientific and simply educational seminars are often held. The seminar rooms must have a large capacity, a large screen for easy reading and high-quality equipment (projector, etc.).
- for business conversations. In order for negotiations with future partners to start on a positive note, the atmosphere and view in the hall must be appropriate;
- least often, such premises are used for celebrations, mainly banquet halls are rented.
Criteria for choosing a conference room, how not to make mistakes when choosing and what to look for
The choice of a conference room should be approached with concentration, otherwise you can find several problems. In order not to make a mistake, you should pay attention to a few questions:
- what is the purpose of the event;
- number of persons;
- building location.
The first step is to determine the number of people who will attend the event. If there are up to 15 people in total, then you should look for a small room, if more than 40, then the room should be larger.
The second step will be technical equipment, for which space must also be allocated.Equipment should be checked before the event. Sound and picture quality, monitor and projector performance. It is desirable to have soundproofing in the room.
The third step - the building should be in a convenient location. It is necessary to take into account where the guests who will be invited to the event live, otherwise an awkward situation may come out. The building is located on the outskirts of the city, and the guests are on the opposite side. There is doubt that the guests will have a desire to go to the edge of the city. Therefore, it is better to choose a place somewhere in the center so that it is convenient to get there. If everything is busy in the center, then there are sleeping areas.
If foreigners are invited to the event, especially partners, you need to take care of additional services: the availability of water, snacks, a full lunch or dinner, well-guarded parking.
Step four. It is worth paying attention to the interior and the general design of the hall. The room must be designed according to the event. Cleanliness, neatness and knowledge of the measure in jewelry are obligatory. It is worth remembering that not everyone likes bright colors and can cause negative emotions, and too many pastels can cause drowsiness.
There are 6 main types of chair arrangements in a conference room:
- Theatre. It is considered the standard way to place chairs at important events. The chairs are strictly one after the other, but at a certain angle so that everyone can see. The screen and all the equipment is located in the middle. It is worth considering that the row should be made up of 8 chairs and be sure to leave a distance between them so that people can go out if necessary. Also, the passage is made from the edge of the walls. The minimum width of the aisle is 75 cm and the distance between the rows is about 55 cm.This arrangement is appropriate for a number of people of 100 people, but if the number of guests is less, then another option should be chosen. This arrangement is used during seminars, conferences, presentations.
- Class. Chairs and tables are like at school in the classroom. This arrangement is ideal for seminars and conferences, because at such events it is not uncommon to write down a lot of information. This type is mainly used at medical, pharmaceutical seminars or legal and accounting conferences. This type of arrangement of seats has its drawback, namely: the lack of convenience and capacity. First, there are often no tables, although you can pay to use the furniture. If tables are provided by the organizers, then it will be much more difficult to carry out some practical tasks, because it is difficult to lift people from the table. You can not use desks, but then you have to record material on your feet, and this is inconvenient. Secondly, the arrangement itself does not imply a large number of people, i.e. the capacity is small.
- Round table. The arrangement is clear from the name, a large table is in the middle, and chairs are around it. This type of arrangement is used if all those present at the event are equal in status in a certain area. Often, the meetings discuss the issues that have arisen and ways to solve them.
- P-arrangement. This type of arrangement is similar to a round table, but it has its own peculiarity. Tables and chairs form the letter P. People with equal status also sit at the conference, but at the same time they listen to the speech of other people. In between is a place for a screen and a projector.At such conferences, several people present their presentations and reports on the work done.
- Banquet buffet. This type of arrangement is usually used for ceremonial or official events. Tables use a round shape so that those sitting at this table can see each other. At such events, banquets are mainly held, but it is not uncommon for the signing of any documents and master classes. When arranging tables, you should always take into account the distance. There should be a distance of at least 30 cm between guests. The distance between the table and the walls should be at least 1.5 m. Table decoration should also be taken seriously. Tables are covered with a special tablecloth for banquets. Moreover, the edge should be quite low. The corners of the tablecloth must be selected. Also along the edges should be tables for spare dishes, napkins and cutlery.
- buffet. This arrangement is the simplest, because. high tables are free to place and do not provide for chairs. At these tables you can drink coffee or other drink and taste a snack. This type is used at breaks, tastings and receptions. But this species is practically not used for long-term events, because. guests cannot stand on their feet for a long time, which means that the event cannot last longer than an hour.
