SAN FRANCISCO, May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Allseated has launched a revolutionary new technology that enables the creation of social-distanced compliant floorplans providing the Events Industry with a path to safely reopen as COVID-19 restrictions are eased.

I am thrilled to be the first to announce that they have created a Physical Distancing Tool, which will allow floorplans to be designed with safety guidelines in mind, eliminating the concerns of planners everywhere who are looking for guidance on how to safely resume meeting. With the strength of this tech tool to guide us, planners, event venues and other event vendors will have the confidence to start booking events again."
