At minimum specify: two HD projectors (5,000 lumen), a 12-channel mixer, four lapel or handheld wireless mics, a stage monitor, wired internet ports and onsite Wi-Fi rated at 200 mbps. Include technician support for 6 hours and backup power distribution to prevent drop-outs.

How many breakout rooms do I need for workshops with 200 guests?
For multi-session workshops allow one room per 50 delegates (min 300 sq ft each). Plan four rooms to run parallel sessions, plus a 150 sq ft registration foyer. Ensure each breakout has independent AV and whiteboard or flipchart.
What fire safety measures must be in place for 200 guests in Soho?
Venues must hold a full Fire Risk Assessment for up to 200 persons, with clearly signposted escape routes, emergency lighting throughout, two 9-kg CO₂ extinguishers per floor and trained fire marshals at 1:50 staff-to-guest ratio. A muster point plan is mandatory.
What planning questions to ask when booking a Soho venue for 200?
Key questions: Is 2,000 sq ft of hire space guaranteed? Can seating be reconfigured for theatre, cabaret or reception style? What AV kit is included (projectors, mics, LTE backup)? What are staffing ratios and bar closing times? Are breakout rooms available (min 250 sq ft)? What are payment terms and cancellation fees?
What seating layouts work best for 200 delegates in Soho venues?
Theatre style suits keynotes: rows of 200 chairs in 300 sq m. Cabaret layout: eight tables of 10 with 2 m spacing (approx. 350 sq m). Reception style: 200 standing plus 20 high tables in 250 sq m. Mix styles to suit workshops (one central theatre, two side cabaret zones).
