NIAVS 2026: Improvement in acoustic quality of cubicles

Last year the NIAVS organiser debuted individual cubicles for the exhibitors, but the main complaint was that the walls were too thin with insufficient sound proofing and loud music from neighbouring cubicles could be heard.

This year, the cubicle walls, including the doors, had additional layers of one-inch-thick rock wool and sound-absorbent carpet material which resulted in much better room acoustics.
