Have networking event I'm running. 20 people, 5 tables. We spend 5 minutes at each table, then move to another table. Is there a formula I can use that ensures no two people will be at the same table more than once.

Welcome to the forum.
From a tabulation of solutions by Warwick Harvey:
[[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9, 10, 11, 12], [13, 14, 15, 16], [17, 18, 19, 20]]
[[1, 5, 9, 13], [2, 10, 15, 17], [3, 8, 14, 20], [4, 7, 12, 19], [6, 11, 16, 18]]
[[1, 7, 11, 15], [2, 9, 16, 20], [3, 6, 13, 19], [4, 8, 10, 18], [5, 12, 14, 17]]
[[1, 8, 12, 16], [2, 11, 14, 19], [3, 5, 15, 18], [4, 6, 9, 17], [7, 10, 13, 20]]
[[1, 6, 10, 14], [2, 12, 13, 18], [3, 7, 16, 17], [4, 5, 11, 20], [8, 9, 15, 19]]
