Frequently Asked Questions
What is a run of show?+
A run of show (ROS) is a minute-by-minute schedule of everything that happens during an event — each segment's start and end time, what happens, and who's responsible. It keeps the MC, AV team, catering, and production crew perfectly in sync on event day.
What should a run of show include?+
Each line should have a start time, duration or end time, the activity or cue, and the owner responsible. Detailed run of shows also add AV and lighting cues, speaker names, and transitions. This generator builds the core timeline and auto-calculates end times as you set durations.
What's the difference between a run of show and an agenda?+
An agenda is the audience-facing outline of topics; a run of show is the internal, time-coded production script your team runs the event from. The agenda says 'Keynote at 7:30'; the run of show says who cues the lights, who introduces the speaker, and exactly when.
Is the Run of Show Generator free?+
Yes — it's free, needs no account or email, and auto-calculates segment times as you build. Copy the finished run of show to share with your team. Built for Canadian event organizers by SponsorMatch.ca.
