Coordinate the booth and the stage, live
Demos, presentations, and staffing in one run of show your team follows live from any device on the floor.
Why NextShow for trade shows
A booth is a small stage that resets every twenty minutes, all day. NextShow keeps demos, giveaways, and staffing rotations in one run of show the whole team follows from the floor, with times that cascade when the schedule slips and color tags that make the day readable at a glance.

Share one link with the whole booth team
Everyone working the booth keeps the View link open on their phone. The booth lead holds the Edit link, and when a demo moves or a shift changes, the update reaches the whole team without a huddle.
Load the booth schedule into NextShow before the next expo. The whole team reads it from the floor, and the demos never drift off their advertised times.
The Free plan is a real tool: all your columns, live sharing, live mode, up to 5 segments per run of show.
View and Edit links open in any modern browser. Nobody creates an account to follow the show.
A single show that needs more than 5 segments unlocks fully for 30 days. No subscription.

Questions
What goes in a trade show run of show?
The booth day in order: open, demos, presentations, giveaways, staffing rotations, and breaks, each with a start, a duration, and columns for staff, demo content, and AV.
How do we share it with booth staff?
Send the View link in the team chat. It opens on any phone with no app to install, so everyone on the floor reads the same current schedule.
Can the team see updates live on the floor?
Yes. Any edit reaches every open link instantly, and the active segment marker shows the floor team exactly where the day is.
