Hello Marty,

I use balloons, too, preferably large ones - filled with helium so they fly.

It's a nice flexible way to indicate spaces which may need to move, and a balloon is easy to move. I have had them either fixed to a chair, or had a rock to keep the balloon from flying. The advantage of rocks is that in the closing circle there is the possibility to move all balloons to the centre of the circle.

It also creates a different athmosphere - there are topics where they would not fit.

I guess I usually suggest having balloons as a flexible and clear way to mark breakout spaces
rather than mentioning other properties

Greetings from Denmark,

Hello all
 
I’d love to know what you use to designate breakout spaces in a large conference room. 
 
I’ve been using bunches of balloons, taped to the wall (and then referring to the red, blue, green, yellow areas, etc.). 
 

I am indeed very partial to balloons. 
 

But not every client wants the room to look like a circus – at the outset, anyway.   :)
