Event signage that keeps delegates informed and your programme on track

Show session schedules, room directions and sponsor boards on any screen in your venue, and change them from your phone mid-event. You can also sell ad slots on your Session Schedule Board to an event sponsor and other local businesses, and keep up to 92% of each sale.

The problem

Your printed programme was out of date before doors opened

A speaker cancels at 7am and the 2pm panel moves halls. The foam boards in the foyer still show the old plan, so your team spends the morning at the information desk answering "Where is Room B?"

Use cases

What event organisers put on their screens

Session schedule boards

The day's programme at every junction

Show session titles, times, rooms and speakers in registration, corridors and outside each hall. See event signage.

For example, if a keynote overruns by 12 minutes, you can move the next slot from your phone in the audience and every schedule screen updates.

Wayfinding

Directions at lifts and stairwells

Tell delegates which rooms are on this floor and which way to walk. Between events you change the room names, so Tuesday's symposium signs become Thursday's workshop signs. See wayfinding displays.

Sponsor boards

Sponsor logos where delegates queue

Rotate logos and messages by the coffee queue and the main stage, with more screen time for headline sponsors. If a sponsor sends new artwork at 8am, you can have it on screen in minutes.

Welcome and multi-day events

A branded welcome, and each day loaded in advance

Greet delegates with the event name, wifi details and the day's highlights. Load all three days of a conference before you arrive and switch at the end of each day.

Back-of-house crew boards

Running orders for the crew

Put the running order, changeover times and contacts in the green room and loading bay. When a soundcheck overruns, the stage manager updates it from their phone and every crew screen changes.

Getting started

Set up event digital signage yourself

  1. Sign up free

    Create your account online. The Free plan needs no credit card.

  2. Plug a NowBoard Player into any screen

    It connects over HDMI and uses the venue's wifi. It costs £149 ex VAT, UK only. To show live video from an NDI source on your network, choose the Player Pro (£199 ex VAT).

  3. Add your programme

    Schedules, room directories and sponsor boards, in your event's branding.

  4. Change it on the day

    Move a session or swap a room from your phone, laptop or tablet, and every connected screen refreshes.

You don't need an AV contractor or IT department, and you can manage screens at several venues from one dashboard. From £10 per TV per month ex VAT, with no setup fee or annual contract. Advertising is included on every plan, and you switch it on for a TV when you're ready.

FAQ

Common questions about event signage

Do I need to buy new screens for my venue?

No. Use the TVs already in your lobby, corridors and meeting rooms. You need a NowBoard Player (£149 ex VAT, UK only) or Player Pro (£199 ex VAT) for each one.

Can I update the programme during a live event?

Yes. Change a session time or room from your phone, and every screen showing that programme updates within seconds.

Can I reuse the same setup at a different venue?

Yes. Unplug the Players at one venue and plug them in at the next. Your templates carry across; you update the event details and connect to the new wifi.

Can event organisers preview their signage before the event day?

Yes. Send the organiser or client a preview link and make changes before the day. The link works for up to an hour.

What happens if the venue wifi drops?

The screen keeps showing the last Board it loaded.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. You pay month to month from £10 ex VAT per TV, and you can add or remove TVs as you need.

Stop reprinting programmes on event day

Put your schedule, directions and sponsors on the venue's screens, and change them from your phone as the day moves.
