partitions, moveable exhibit walls, banner/butcher paper hanging from very high
up to all the way down so it’s attached (by the hotel) at the ceiling and
lays flat against the wall, poster boards leaning on the wall…and of
course those global (Canadian, German) tables are also a possibility.<span

(for those of you for whom English is not a first language this means ‘drawn
the line at / been totally firm and stubborn about / not moved an inch about)
regarding placing tables for discussion areas (and food). <span
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>What I’ve in some cases done instead is
had the hotel bring in a f-e-w café or bar tables (little tops, no chairs
around them, often designed for standing at or bar stools) to put against the
wall around the food area (so they are clearly not for sitting) but instead
part of the Open Space ‘cocktail party’ energy.<span
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>But I don’t do this very much because I
find that people very easily draw two chairs together and put their food on one
and sit on the other. <span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

necessarily sit at tables in your living room – they sit all around wherever
they are drawn to and gee, they seem to handle that quite well.<span

your home that people will be ‘struggling to eat’ as they
talk?<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>Have you had this problem at
