Guides for running a conference on time

Practical guides for organizers, chairs and AV teams. Short, specific, and useful even if you never use WrapClock.

• How to keep conference speakers on timeA conference rarely runs late because of one long talk. It runs late a few minutes at a time. Here is how to stop that, before the event and on the day.
• How to set up a stage timer for speakersA stage timer is a countdown screen the speaker can see while talking. Setting one up takes ten minutes. Putting it in the right place takes a little more thought.
• Green, amber, red: timing signals for speakersThree colors are enough for a speaker to know where they stand without breaking a sentence. But you have to decide what each color means, and when it appears.
• WrapClock questions and answersShort answers to the questions that come up before you run the timer at your first event.
