Are you running a stall at a conference?

If so, you will want something to catch people’s attention and pull them across to your kiosk. If you already have a presentation that will work for this, here are two simple steps to turn it into a self-running presentation.

Important - You will be making some changes to the presentation, so before you start save out a new version of your presentation. That way you still have the original version for when you’re presenting live.

Step 1: Create Automatic Timings

When you are presenting, you will want to have control over when the next animation or slide transition happens, so your presentation will most likely be set up so that you need to click the mouse to continue.

However, at a kiosk you will want the presentation animation and slides to advance automatically, so that people passing by your stand will be able to read and follow the slides.

There are many ways to set up the timings for a presentation so that they run automatically, but the simplest and quickest is to use “rehearse timings”:

- On the top ribbon, click “Slide Show” and “Rehearse Timings”
- Click each time you want to proceed to the next animation/slide
- Once you’ve finished the slides, PowerPoint will prompt you to save the new slide timings

Step 2: Loop Presentation

At a kiosk, you will want the presentation to loop back to the beginning again once finished. To do this:

- On the top ribbon, click “Slide Show” and “Set Up Slide Show”
- Select “Loop continuously until ‘Esc.’
- Hit “OK”

The video shows these two steps in action. At Presented, we have lots of experience creating kiosk presentations, so get in touch if you want us to help you create something really eye-catching that will draw people to your stand.
