Event Floor Plan Designer
Design your event floor plan online for free: place tables, stage, registration desk and emergency exits on a grid and check exits against capacity.
How it works
Draw the floor plan of your venue by placing elements (tables, stage, registration desk, emergency exits) on a grid. As you work, the designer estimates the capacity of the layout and checks whether the number of emergency exits is sufficient for it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I draw an event floor plan?
Start from the real measurements of the venue, then place the fixed elements (exits, columns, utilities). Add the stage or main area, then tables and chairs, leaving enough space between them. Always check the evacuation routes.
What tools can I use to design an event layout?
You can use professional tools such as AutoCAD or dedicated event software, or more accessible solutions such as this free online tool. What matters is working to the real scale of the venue and following local safety regulations.
What is the minimum distance between chairs in a conference room?
Minimum distances between rows and the width of aisles are set by local fire and safety regulations, which vary from country to country. Check them with the venue or the competent authority before finalising the layout, and keep more space around tables where people are seated.
