Walking
among your guests

The options
Seated
at his own table
An overview by Tijl
Side by side
- Rhythm
- Moving with the evening. Light and easy.
- A fixed anchor point in the evening. Calm and approachable.
- Who moves
- I come to the guests.
- The guests come to me.
- The moment
- Short and spontaneous, mid-conversation.
- Longer, calmer, more focused.
- Reach
- 40 to 50 guests per hour.
- 25 to 40 guests per hour.
- Duration
- Usually one to two and a half hours. For very big parties, two blocks of three hours are possible, with a break in between.
- Suits
- Reception, walking dinner, networking drinks, product launch, dinner, client event, gala or conference day. The choice follows from the programme, not from the type of event.
- Practical
- No stage, no tech, just people. For Seated, a quiet spot is all it takes.
- Atmosphere
- Mentalism that happens up close: personal, disarming and impossible to explain.
Or both
Walking and Seated combine well within one evening
A typical combination: Walking during the reception, when everyone is moving around and conversations are starting. Then Seated, whenever it suits the flow of the evening better: a calm anchor where guests choose whether to take a seat, or a chance for anyone who missed the Walking moment.
Which balance works for your event depends on the programme, the space and the rhythm you're after. Tijl works that out with you beforehand.

Choose based on your programme
A separate note walks you through the choice: a rule of thumb based on your guest count, the duration of each format and when the combination is at its best.
