Frequently asked questions
What is a conference break timer?
A conference break timer is a visible countdown for coffee breaks, lunch returns, session changeovers, sponsor visits, and attendee returns.
Where should I show a break timer?
Show it on stage screens, hallway displays, registration monitors, or the virtual event lobby where attendees can see the next start time.
Can production staff control the timer remotely?
