MAPS AND EXHIBITION SPACES

The 2020 Guitar Show at the Padua exhibition area is divided into four large halls, one of which is dedicated exclusively to events. The exhibition areas are organized according to the kind of product to exhibit and to the possibility to test the amplified instruments by  the booth. All the halls have 7000 square meters of carpeting and are covered with 4000 square meters of acoustic panels. Noise diffusion is reduced between the various halls, which remain open to allow visitors to move around better. 

Amplified tests are allowed at low volume in some halls dedicated to. In order to satisfy the different needs, we have introduced acoustically insulated pre-assembled boxes which allow testing at higher volumes. The boxes are made of an aluminium frame and sound absorbing materials, allowing to reduce the acoustic emission. However, they are partially insulated areas. The acoustic boxes are available in different sizes, from 1×3 to 4×4.

Despite an extra day of event and a better location we have maintained the same price for exhibitors. In fact, the basic cost for the standard solution, table plus two chairs, remains unchanged at €249 + VAT.
