What fits in Exhibit hall
With a 8.5 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 (2.5 mm) runs 87 tiles wide by 13 high (1131 tiles, 43.5 x 6.5 m, 17400 x 2600 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 8,822 kg and draws up to 181 kW (870 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 6,511 theater, 2,663 banquet, or 1,831 classroom. The previz lets you move the wall, change the tile, and check sightlines from the back row.

Planning notes
No rigging point data is published for this venue yet; plan on ground-supported LED or ask the venue for its rigging plot. Every room here clears 3.5 m, so ground-stacked LED works throughout.
Data source
Published dimensions. Dimensions from the venue's published meeting-space specifications (source). Rooms drawn as boxes use published length x width; square rooms were derived from published area only, so treat their shape as approximate. Venue managers: send a floor plan to upgrade your listing to production-ready.
