Table Maps: Seating for Banquets and Galas

A table map is a seated room: a gala, an awards breakfast, a banquet. You lay out the tables, and registrants pick their own seat. Seats are sold one at a time, so a table can fill with people who do not know each other, or a company can take all eight.

The table map editor: a Thursday Banquet floor with a stage and ten round tables of eight, the tables, seats, available and sold tiles above, and the seating plan panel beside it

One map per seated event

Booths & Tables › Table Maps lists every seated room in your event. A three-day conference with a Thursday banquet and a Saturday awards lunch has two maps, each with its own tables and its own price.

Laying out the room

  • Table Grid stamps a block of numbered tables in one drag, which is how most rooms get built.
  • Table draws one more where you need it. Click a table to set its seat count, category and price, or to block it.
  • Shape and Text set the scene: the stage, the dance floor, the bar, the doors. They are not for sale, they just help people choose.
  • Floor Setup holds the room dimensions and the snap grid. Everything is in feet, so the map matches the room.
  • AI Draft builds a first version from a sentence describing the room, ready for you to adjust.

Categories and minimums

  • A seat category colors the tables and sets the default price per seat. Front tables can cost more than back tables.
  • A table can override its category's price on its own.
  • A table can carry a minimum, so a sponsor table of ten cannot be broken up by one person taking a single seat.
