Conference Tables — Expert Answer

How does conference table shape affect meeting dynamics?

Round and square tables signal equality — there's no "head" position — making them great for collaborative brainstorming and peer-level discussions. Rectangular and boat-shaped tables have a natural head position, which suits formal presentations and hierarchical organizations. U-shaped or hollow square setups encourage discussion and work well for training or workshop formats.
