Room Setups for RVA Meetings, Conferences & Expos

  • Room with blue patterned carpet and warm colored walls showing an event set up in classroom style

    Classroom Style

    The classroom style setup arranges rows of tables facing the front, giving attendees a comfortable writing surface and clear view of the presenter. This option is highly effective for meetings and conferences in Richmond where note-taking, laptops, or training materials are involved. Classroom layouts are a smart choice for workshops, seminars, certification courses, continuing education sessions, and corporate meetings, offering a professional and practical environment for learning and engagement.

  • Crowd of people watching a performance under pink lights sitting in theatre setting

    Theatre Style

    The theater style setup maximizes seating by arranging rows of chairs facing the stage or presenter, similar to a traditional auditorium. This layout is best for high-attendance events where the focus is on a speaker or performance, such as keynote addresses, general sessions, product launches, lectures, and ceremonies. With no tables to take up space, theater style is ideal for conferences, conventions, and large-scale meetings across Virginia that require clear sightlines and the ability to accommodate the most attendees.

  • Rounds (Banquet Style)

    Our banquet style setup features round tables seating 6–10 guests, creating a warm and social atmosphere ideal for conversation and connection. This arrangement is one of the most popular choices for Richmond events, from wedding receptions and gala dinners to award banquets, corporate celebrations, and networking luncheons. If you’re planning a conference, fundraiser, or formal event in Virginia, rounds provide a polished and welcoming setting that keeps your guests engaged.

  • U-Shape / Square Style

    The U-shape or square style setup arranges tables in an open or closed square, allowing all participants to face one another while maintaining visibility of a presenter or screen at the front. This layout is particularly effective for interactive meetings, boardroom-style discussions, training sessions, and workshops where collaboration is key. U-shape and square setups are popular for corporate meetings, planning sessions, team-building activities, and smaller conferences that benefit from both presentation space and open conversation.

  • Boardroom style

    The boardroom style setup features a single large conference table with chairs arranged around it, creating a professional and collaborative environment. This layout is ideal for executive meetings, interviews, strategic planning sessions, and small group discussions where clear communication is essential. Boardroom style is a top choice for corporate meetings, leadership retreats, and business presentations that require a private, focused atmosphere.

  • Vendor/Trade Show Style

    Our trade show and expo style setup is designed to showcase exhibitors with booth spaces, aisles, and staging areas that encourage attendee flow and discovery. This layout is ideal for vendor markets, expos, and conventions in Richmond, giving each exhibitor a professional presence while maximizing floor space. Whether you’re planning a consumer show, job fair, product showcase, or industry expo in Virginia, this setup offers flexibility and visibility for both exhibitors and attendees.
