Exhibition: timeline guide

Quick answer

What this page settles

Treat the schedule as an operating sequence, not a list of audience-facing start times. Use this page to create an active expo floor with clear stage cues that cut through booth noise. The working record is demo schedule, VIP route, footfall waves and announcement points; the main failure to prevent is competing stage noise and crowds missing unclear cues.
