mixed seating

No assigned spots

Mixed seating is an arrangement where men and women sit together rather than in separate sections.

The term appears most often in religious contexts, where some traditions require gender-segregated seating during worship: The synagogue offers mixed seating for Friday evening services.

It also describes event planning that alternates genders around a table rather than letting couples sit together.
