Match seating to the session
Use theater rows for focused presentations, classroom tables for working sessions, or mixed layouts when the agenda changes through the day.
Conference and meeting events
Plan conference room layouts for real event spaces
Lay out theater, classroom, boardroom, U-shape, or mixed meeting rooms with the stage, screens, registration, catering, and circulation the event actually needs.

The job to be done
Connect the agenda to the room
Conference planning is spatial program planning: people arrive, learn, move between sessions, eat, network, and interact with production systems on a schedule.
Make production part of the plan
Represent stages, podiums, screens, AV control, cameras, and speaker positions alongside the audience—not on a separate mental map.
Coordinate arrival and breaks
Include registration, coat check, refreshment service, networking zones, and the paths between the main room and breakouts.
How it works
Build each room from its session job
Avoid copying one arrangement across every meeting room. Start with the agenda, then give each space a layout that supports its part of the event.
Identify the room and session
Confirm the active room state, attendance, presentation format, duration, turnover time, and whether the room changes use during the event.
Select a seating pattern
Start with theater, classroom, banquet, cocktail, or mixed seating and refine row depth, table orientation, and the focal direction.
Add production and service
Place stage, podium, screens, AV control, registration, refreshments, sponsor or networking areas, and accessible locations.
Review the operational sequence
Check setup, speaker access, attendee movement, breaks, turnovers, and strike with the venue and production leads before releasing a version.
What the workflow supports
Event layout software, not office interior design
Margo addresses the temporary room setup and handoffs around a conference. It is not a workplace test-fit, architectural, or expo booth-sales system.
Presentation-oriented objects
Use chair rows, classroom tables, stages, podiums, screens and AV zones to show the audience relationship to the program.
Reusable meeting rooms
Venue teams can save common room foundations, then create event-specific plans without changing the reusable source template.
Review for changing programs
Save milestones for alternatives or session states, restore a prior arrangement as new history, and keep the chosen release identifiable.
Planning checklist
Conference questions the floor plan should answer
Use the layout review to expose program assumptions before they become room-set surprises.
- Session format, attendance, speakers, moderators, and audience interaction
- Theater, classroom, U-shape, boardroom, rounds, cabaret, or mixed seating
- Stage, lectern, screens, projection, cameras, control position, and power
- Registration, badge pickup, coat check, sponsor, catering, and networking zones
- Breakout locations, session turnover, furniture reset, and attendee wayfinding
- Venue review, production sign-off, accessibility requests, and open technical questions
Questions to settle before the room is set
Can I create theater and classroom versions of the same room?
Yes. Save each arrangement as a named milestone or a separate event plan. If you restore a milestone, Margo creates a new version so the intervening history remains available.
Does Margo manage the conference agenda?
No. Use the agenda as an input to room and turnover decisions. Margo does not replace session scheduling, registration, speaker management, or attendee apps.
Can the plan include AV and registration?
Yes. The canvas includes production and event-service objects such as stages, podiums, AV, screens, and registration, and you can label or annotate additional needs.
Is this for expo booth sales?
No. A simple booth object exists for spatial planning, but Margo is not positioned as exhibitor inventory, booth sales, sponsorship, or lead-retrieval software.
