Name tables by purpose
Executive host, client, sponsor, department, recruiting, and speaker tables are easier to manage than generic table numbers during planning.
Lock hosts and priority guests
Place hosts first, then clients, speakers, investors, sponsors, or board members. Lock these seats before filling the room.
Balance departments and conversation goals
Some dinners need departments mixed. Others need teams together. Decide the goal before shuffling flexible guests.
Export for assistants and venue staff
Executive assistants, event managers, and venue teams need the final layout in a form they can send, print, or reference quickly.
