This auditorium has capacity for 1200 people and was equipped for the occasion with a screen of 11 x 6 meters.
Luis Gantus, creator of Conque and Content Director of Conque 2018, stressed that "We had good references of Christie by CinemaCon and some local events such as the Light Show of the Pyramids of Chichén Itzá. But the truth is that the quality and power of the Christie projector made the attendees of Conque 2018 live an unusual, brilliant, exciting and fun experience. As a producer, I have never before had the opportunity to present content with such strength and elegance."
