Stage Timer for Conferences and Summits

Multi-speaker conferences live and die by the clock. When one keynote runs long, every session after it pays the price. Showpacer gives your production team a shared controller and puts a synced fullscreen timer on stage monitors — no proprietary hardware, no last-minute USB swaps.

How showpacer helps

  • Build the full rundown in one room

    Add timers for opening remarks, keynotes, panels, and breaks. Drag to reorder as the schedule shifts backstage.

  • Control from the stage manager desk

    Start, pause, and nudge timers from a laptop or tablet while the AV team watches the same synced output on confidence monitors.

  • Give speakers instant visual cues

    Green, yellow, and red countdown states tell presenters when to wrap without someone waving from the wings.

  • Share viewer links in seconds

    Send the viewer URL to monitor operators, streaming engineers, and remote producers. No accounts required for display devices.

Frequently asked questions

Can multiple stage managers control the same room?

Yes. Share the controller link with authorized team members. Everyone sees the same live timer state and can adjust it in real time.

Does it work with existing confidence monitors?

Showpacer runs in any modern browser. Open the viewer link on a laptop connected to your stage monitor, smart TV, or Raspberry Pi display.

What happens if the internet drops briefly?

The viewer reconnects automatically and resyncs to the current timer state. For critical shows, keep a backup display device on the same link.

Can I adjust a speaker's time without stopping the clock?

Yes. Use nudge buttons to add or subtract 30 seconds or one minute while the timer keeps running. Viewers see the change instantly.
