There are four basic types of set ups Nairobi Safari Club
uses for conferences/functions. Here is a guideline.
1. U shape style set up
This is a set up most suited to functions
that involve presentations that require audio visual equipment such as screens
and projectors. It allows for both the presenter and participants to interact
easily.
Round table set ups are more suited to
social occasions such as wedding receptions and special luncheon or dinner
functions. One table can accommodate a
maximum of eight people comfortably. The meals can be served either in buffet
or set menu style.
3. Classroom style set up
This style is best for trainings that
require quite a bit note taking. It is quite formal and appropriate if the
conference has long sessions. Unfortunately it limits participant interaction.
4. Theater style set up
It maximizes on the seating capacity of a
room where a large number of people are expected. The sessions should be brief
to avoid the participants getting restless. One instance where this set up can
be used is in a press briefing.
