I have shot this event before, but with fast primes - I'm shooting with a pair of Sony A9's, I have fast primes as well as the 2.8 GM zooms.
It's an award ceremony, there is a stage at the front with speakers, well lit. They announce a winner for an award who gets up from their table and walks to the front.
Here's an idea of the layout with an idea (table positioning guessed) for off-camera lighting (red stars), but I would appreciate experienced input. Thanks!

Then walking to the stage, the lighting is mixed so I did a lot of black and white.
