How much floor space does each chair need in a conference room?

Each conference chair needs roughly 30"–36" of width at the table for comfortable seating and the ability to push in and out without bumping neighbors. Behind the chair, plan for 36"–48" of clearance from the table edge to the wall or next obstruction — 36" is the minimum for someone to pass behind a seated person; 48" allows comfortable two-way traffic. A 10-person rectangular conference table in a properly spec'd room typically needs at least 16'x20' of room.
