A breakout meeting room is a smaller meeting room that is used in addition to a larger general meeting room when a large group needs to break down into smaller sections. Breakout rooms offer more specialised meeting space for smaller groups with specific tasks in mind that are more focused than the tasks of a larger group. Examples of what a breakout room can be used for and cater to are specialised training, job interviews, or smaller groups during problem-solving sessions.
A round table that sits between 6 to 8 people spans between 1,800 mm and 2,400 mm in diameter. Factors towards what size a round table should be, it comes down to how many people you wish to seat, and how much space you want them to have once they are sitting down. Hence, comfortability. We take into consideration that each guest occupies around 700-800 mm in width while seating in front of the table, depending also by the type of chair.
In general, a round table takes up less space than a square one within your office. However, the amount of space your office table takes up is entirely dependent on factors outside of the shape itself. For example, if your room is smaller and narrower, then a square or oval-shaped office table would be the best choice as a round one would not suit the shape of the room and take it over. However, if floor space is not an issue then a round table takes up less space within your office and can seat more people in a smaller area. When it comes to choosing a square or round office table, a space planning designer or in some cases an interior designer would suggest the best meeting room fit out.
For the most part in terms of general conversation, the two terms are used interchangeably. The main difference between them is that a boardroom is a large room where the directors of a company will hold formal meetings. Usually, these rooms are filled with one large table that everyone sits around as the meeting is conducted. These can be both rented out spaces or, depending on the size of the company, a dedicated room within an office building. A meeting room, on the other hand, tends to be a more informal setting, located usually within the office building itself, and it is generally used to hold internal or work meetings. These rooms tend to be smaller than boardrooms and cater to smaller groups for informal meetings or between employees and management.
