If you’re planning an event, there are a lot of things to consider. Where will it be held? What should the space look like? How many people can attend? When should it take place?
While all of these questions are important, one of the most difficult parts is making sure that everything runs smoothly. One important part of this is making sure your event runs within a timeframe.

Main timer screen also includes some basic instructions.

When the timer reaches zero a Time’s up! message will appear on the screen. This will let you or the speaker know that the session is completed. In addition to this the timer screen will turn red and further emphasize the message. This has a proven effect on the speakers to finish their message on time 🙂
Timeout is reached and the screen turns RED.
To reset the timer simply press DEL key on your keyboard, set the time and repeat the process.

- If you use the timer yourself, it can help you manage the flow of your presentation. It’s easy to get caught up in what you’re saying, lose track of time only to realize that the audience is checking their phones or fidgeting with pens. Not good.
