  Round table - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
A round table is one which has no "head" and no "sides", and therefore no one person sitting at it is given a privileged position and all are treated as equals.
The most famous modern round table was the one used for talks between the Communist government and Solidarity in Poland in 1989; see: Polish Round Table Agreement.
Hence, the term "round table" is also used figuratively to refer to a peaceful way of achieving a compromise solution.
