Audience-Centered Seating7 Principles that will enhance/increase:● Safety● Comfort● Engagement● Capacity
@danberger | #expoexpo
Principle 1: Set Room to the Long SideResult: Participants are closer to the presenter
@danberger | #expoexpo
Principle 2: Angle the SeatsResult: Participants naturally face the presentation and are therefore more comfortable
@danberger | #expoexpo
Principle 3: Curve the RowsResult: Participants can see one another
@danberger | #expoexpo
Principle 4: Set Aisles at 45°Result: Eliminate the middle aisle since it has the best seats in the house and it drains the energy from the meeting
@danberger | #expoexpo
Principle 5: Cut Single Chair Access LanesResult: They provide easier access and accommodate latecomers/early exiters
@danberger | #expoexpo
Principle 6: Place Back Row Against WallResult: Ensure the chairs stay put in case of an emergency
@danberger | #expoexpo
Principle 7: Flare the AislesResult: Prevents congestion near the doors where people congregate
