Table Shapes

When the 'conference and events manager' didn't show up yesterday - despite my call to reception - I once again humped the hotel furniture around the room before the parties arrived in order to achieve my desired room layout.

If there is anyone out there looking for a research project, would you please be good enough to include in it something on the relative merits of mediation table shapes.

What works best... round, square, bean, dog bone, trapezoid, soft square asymmetrical, serpentine, pentagon, octagon, elliptical oval,donut, rectangle, boomerang, hex, bullet, boat shape, racetrack oval, convex, donut, soft triangle...?

Or maybe this is what I need when the parties say 'Don't worry Geoff, it's just us coming on Thursday'...then 15 turn up!
