FAQ
When should I randomize seating instead of presentation order?
Use random seating when the goal is room placement or table allocation. Use presentation order when the issue is who speaks first or in what sequence people present.
How do I make random seating feel fair to the room?
Show that the list was prepared first, run a clean randomization, and share or display the result immediately so nobody feels the order was adjusted by hand afterward.
