Operable Wall Panels (Air Walls)

Any proposed changes should be planned in advance with your Event Manager. Last minute changes may negatively impact other room set-ups in progress at the time. Your Event Manager will assist you in determining if changes, planned or unplanned, are possible, and any cost involved in changing the wall panels.
