  1. Start from the home screen

    Choose Create an event, then New event. No personal account is needed: each event has its own access.

  2. Choose event access

    Enter a unique lowercase login name and a password of at least six characters. Select Create event. After the event is created, its agenda editor opens.

  3. Add the details and agenda

    Give the event its display name and date. Add speakers or panels, set their durations, then select Save changes. Start event opens the control room; Start timer begins the countdown.

  4. Or import from CSV

    On the home screen, choose Import from CSV and download the template. Use one row per speaker. Rows with the same event_name form one event; item_order groups panelists into one agenda item. Preview the file, then set a distinct login name for each event and a shared password for the import.

  5. Return on another device

    Choose Open an event and enter its login name and password, or follow a controller invitation. On this device lists events this browser remembers; it is not a directory of all events.
