We *wish* the successful roundtable

"We wish the successful roundtable" does not sound at all English, and would be better expressed in a phrase such as: "We wish the Roundtable (every) success"

I would say, We wish you *a* successful roundtable. Or, if you're involved in the roundtable, "We wish all of us a successful roundtable."

"We wish for the successful roundtable" suggests that there will be several roundtables, only one of which will be successful, and we hope that's the one we get. "We wish you the successful roundtable" means the same, except we hope "you" get the successful one.

Another option would be "We hope that the roundtable is a success." In one way it's better, because it makes it a bit clearer that the participants themselves determine the success of the roundtable.

Not neccessarily since it depends on sentence construction. You may use for as, "I wish for having a brand new car!
There are many common sentences in which "for" in the sentence was not used.

You've already used the word "for" 1 too many times. Use the word "you".

Instead of "for",it's convenient to use the word "you"
