Free Public Program Speaker Transition Timer

Use a public program speaker transition timer for intro, talk, Q&A, reset, next, and close. Create an XTimer room when program producers, moderators, speakers, AV teams, front-of-house staff, and volunteers need shared public program speaker transition timing.

Built for this job

Public program teams can separate intro, talk, Q&A, reset, next, and close.

Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use event run of show, speaker agreements, venue policies, accessibility procedures, AV plans, safety guidance, and authorized program staff as the source of truth.

Use the timer for speaker-transition pacing only, not for speech content, contract terms, accessibility accommodations, safety, copyright, recording, venue, or policy decisions.

Keep run-of-show notes, speaker timing notes, Q&A notes, reset notes, AV notes, and program records in approved ticketing, visitor service, circulation, collections, facilities, education, membership, security, or event systems.

Use an XTimer room when program producers, moderators, speakers, AV teams, front-of-house staff, and volunteers need one shared public program speaker transition countdown.
