Digital Signage — Setup and Configuration Guide
Digital Signage in run.events is a lightweight, standalone web page designed exclusively for displaying real‑time event information. It is typically used on hallway screens, room displays, or digital totems to show the current session, upcoming sessions, or the remaining agenda for the day. Its purpose is to ensure attendees always see up‑to‑date information without requiring access to the mobile app or event website.
Digital Signage updates automatically at key agenda moments, making it ideal for venues where information must stay accurate and visible at all times.
What Digital Signage Shows
Digital Signage pages pull live data from your event and display:
- Agenda screens — show all remaining sessions for the current day.
- Room screens — show the current session in a specific room, including:
- Session title
- Speaker(s)
- Start Time
- QR code (if Self Check‑in is enabled)
- Two next sessions with title and Speaker name
All data is dynamic. When a session ends, it disappears from the list; Automatically showing the next session before it even starts.
What You Need to Set Up Digital Signage
To activate Digital Signage, you must collect three elements:
- Event Slug
- Room Guid
- Digital Signage URLs (Agenda + Room Display)
Where to Find the Required Information
Event Slug
You can find the Event Slug in two places:
- In the URL of your event
- By navigating to: Settings → Widgets and Links
Room Guid
To obtain the Room Guid:
- Go to Content and Speakers → Room Management
- Select a room
- A flyout opens showing the Room Guid
- Copy it — this Guid is required for that room’s Digital Signage URL

You may also refresh the page manually if needed.
