What fits in Convention Hall and The Base of the Egg
With a 3.4 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen A2 Pro (2.97 mm) runs 85 tiles wide by 3 high (255 tiles, 42.5 x 1.5 m, 14280 x 504 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 2,550 kg and draws up to 47.2 kW (227 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 5,149 theater, 2,106 banquet, or 1,448 classroom. The previz lets you move the wall, change the tile, and check sightlines from the back row.

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
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. 8 of the 10 rooms sit under 3.5 m, which rules out flown LED there and limits ground-stacked walls to about 6 rows of 500 mm tile.
Data source
Published dimensions. Dimensions from the venue's published meeting-space specifications (source). Rooms drawn as boxes use published length x width; shapes are as published. Venue managers: send a floor plan to upgrade your listing to production-ready.
