Conference chair, table and catering equipment hire for AGMs, seminars, training days and corporate events. Delivered across England and Wales.
Conference and meeting hire covers a range of event formats: AGMs, industry conferences, corporate training days, away days, seminars and professional workshops. Furniture requirements vary significantly depending on the format. Theatre-style layouts need chairs and staging equipment; boardroom formats need conference tables and matching chairs; training rooms need individual desks or pod arrangements.
Expo Hire hires conference chairs, folding tables, boardroom furniture, presentation furniture and catering equipment for conferences of all sizes. Orders are placed online with no quote process, and stock is shown live at checkout.
Theatre-style layouts need conference chairs arranged in rows facing the front. Stackable chairs without arms allow the closest row spacing and make reconfiguring the room between sessions straightforward. For seminars and workshops with a note-taking requirement, chairs with writing tablets or a row of folding tables in front of each row provides a writing surface.
A presentation table for the speaker, with additional chairs for panel members, is a common arrangement for AGMs and industry conferences. Staging furniture at the front gives the room a defined focal point and separates the panel from the audience.
Boardroom tables and conference chairs suit smaller event formats where delegates are seated around a single table. Modular conference tables can be arranged in a variety of configurations: square, U-shaped or hollow square, depending on the format and the number of attendees.
For U-shape and hollow square layouts, the number of tables required is higher than for a straight boardroom, as three sides of a square need to be furnished. Folding tables fill the gaps at corners and allow the shape to be adjusted on the day.
Training rooms typically use individual desks or small tables for two, arranged in rows or in cabaret-style clusters. For interactive training with group exercises, round tables seat four to six and allow groups to work facing inward without rearranging the furniture between exercises. A mix of round tables and a presentation area at the front covers both input and activity phases within the same room.
Most conferences include a tea and coffee break, and many provide a working lunch. Catering equipment for these requirements, including urns, chafing dishes, crockery and glassware, can be ordered alongside the furniture from a single checkout.
Crockery and glassware can be returned dirty using the Send It Back Dirty service, which removes the washing-up task from whoever is clearing the event. For conferences with a drinks reception, poseur tables and bar stools create a networking space that uses less floor area than conventional seated furniture.
Equipment is delivered to the venue on the day you specify and collected once the conference is over. For multi-day events, a single hire period covers the full duration. Delivery charges are calculated by mileage from the depot and are shown at checkout.
For large conferences where the total order value is significant, the Large Order Deposit Scheme allows you to reserve furniture and equipment with a deposit rather than full payment at the time of booking. Expo Hire delivers to conference venues across England and Wales.
