The Factory at Franklin hosts a range of event spaces, and the private room used for this meeting is one of the more intimate options available. Glass walls on two sides open the space visually while keeping the gathering separate from the surrounding activity. Track lighting runs overhead, the ceilings are tall, and the room reads as polished without being formal.

The table was dressed for dining: cloth napkins folded at each place, full flatware settings, water glasses, and a small floral arrangement at the near end. The group was small enough that everyone seated at the long wood table had a clear view of the display without repositioning.

The Display Setup

We positioned a wall-mounted flat-panel display on a motorized lift stand at the head of the table. The screen sat at a height that worked for both the seated diners and anyone standing to present. With a room this size, a single display covers the room cleanly. No secondary screens were needed.

The glass walls introduce some ambient light from the adjacent space, so placement relative to the nearest glass panel matters. We oriented the display toward the closed wall end of the room to reduce any glare on the screen face during the presentation portions of the evening.

Planning Notes

For a room this size, the main decision is whether the display travels with the AV package or mounts to a fixed point on the wall. A lift stand gives you flexibility if the venue configuration changes between booking and event day. It also keeps the cable run contained and the floor clear for service staff moving alongside the table during dinner.
