Speaker Run of Show FAQs

What belongs in a speaker run of show?

AV setup and sound-check windows, green room open time, each speaker's stage slot with duration and Q&A length, transition breaks between speakers, and load-out timing. Include the emcee's name and a day-of contact number.

How is this different from an attendee agenda?

An attendee agenda lists session titles and times. A speaker run of show adds backstage logistics: mic check order, deck-load windows, green room access, transition cues, and who is on stage when. Speakers need the behind-the-scenes detail attendees never see.

When should I send this to speakers?

Share a draft 2 weeks out so speakers can flag conflicts. Send the final version 3–5 days before the event with the green room location, Wi-Fi password, and AV contact info.

How much buffer do I need between speakers?

At minimum 10–15 minutes for mic swap and deck load. If you are switching rooms or formats (e.g., keynote to panel), build in 20–30 minutes so AV can reconfigure the stage.
