Creating memorable and impactful experiences is an essential factor for congress organisers. So, when ACS was invited to assist in enhancing the overall attendee experience through open session rooms – we were delighted to explore innovative solutions designed to increase visibility, elevate engagement, and leave a lasting impression on all participants.

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) wanted open, inviting congress session rooms. Rooms that were not isolated from the rest of the congress. The biggest challenge in opening up these areas is how to control the acoustics within the room. Our AV specialists worked tirelessly with acoustic consultants to find the optimal sound solutions, and developed the ‘Sound Absorbing Cylinders’ – large acoustic cylinders that when strategically hung, reduce unwanted noise from entering the room, and together with carefully placed glass walls amplify what matters most – the voices of the speakers.



Our commitment to innovation means that we are continuously refining how sound resonates within a room and we offer acoustic solutions that include sound-damping material such as curtains, carpets and furniture. These new Sound Absorbing Cylinders have been crafted from sustainable felt, made from recycled plastic bottles. So, these additions to our acoustic portfolio increase the acoustic performance and visual appeal of a sessions room, and also add a sustainable value to an event.
ACS is the preferred AV and Temporary Room supplier to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The ESC is the world’s largest organisation of physicians dedicated to fighting heart disease and their annual congress is where the world’s leading cardiology experts convene to transform patient care and advance the field through ground-breaking research, pioneering technologies, and collaborative initiatives.

The Sound Absorbing Cylinders, were of course not the only item provided by ACS for the ESC Congress 2024 London. We also constructed other temporary session rooms, and provided AV in 16 presentation areas; including the 3000 pax Plenary room, Digital Health Stage (through Silent Disco headphones), ESC TV, the Global Stage, as well as 10 lecture rooms.
