Setting Up Display Mode

Display Mode turns any screen at your venue into a live information display. Show session schedules, photo feeds, social media posts, and custom content on TVs, projectors, and kiosks.

Access Display Settings

Go to Settings → Display Mode (under the Wall / Fame section).

Default Display Walls

EventHex comes with four built-in display walls:

Wall	URL Path	Description
Sessions Wall	/session-wall	Live session schedule with real-time updates — current, upcoming, and completed sessions
Photo Wall	/photo-wall	Rolling feed of event photos from the AI Photo Gallery
Session Summary Wall	/session-summary	Key takeaways and highlights from sessions
Social Media Wall	/social-media	Live social media posts matching your event hashtags

Each wall is accessed through your event’s URL:

https://your-event.eventhex.ai/session-wall

Toggle Walls On/Off

Each wall has an Active toggle. Turn off walls you don’t need.

Custom Display Walls

Create custom walls that combine different content types.

1. Go to Settings → Display Mode.
2. Click + Add Wall.
3. Fill in:
   • Name — display name (e.g., “Main Stage Screen”, “Lobby Display”)
   • Description — where this wall is used
   • Active — toggle on/off
4. Add components to the wall — choose which content to display.
5. Click Save.

Each custom wall gets a short-code URL for easy access:

https://your-event.eventhex.ai/w/{shortCode}

Tip

Use short-code URLs on QR codes placed near venue screens. Attendees can scan to see the same content on their phones.

Kiosk Mode

Kiosk mode turns a screen into a self-service badge printing station.

Attendees walk up, scan their QR code or search their name, and the system prints their badge automatically. This is ideal for large events where manual check-in creates bottlenecks.

To set up kiosk mode, configure the display format as “kiosk” in your display settings.

Screen Setup Tips

Hardware Requirements

• Any device with a modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari)
• TV with built-in browser, laptop connected to a projector, or dedicated kiosk hardware
• Stable internet connection

Best Setup

1. Open the wall URL in a fullscreen browser (press F11 on most browsers).
2. Disable screen sleep / power saving on the display device.
3. Use an auto-refresh extension if your browser doesn’t support live updates.
4. For kiosks, lock the browser to the kiosk URL to prevent attendees from navigating away.

Best Practices

• Use Sessions Wall near session rooms — attendees can check what’s on next without asking staff.
• Place Photo Wall in social areas — lobbies, networking zones, and lunch areas work well for photo displays.
• Test before the event — open each wall URL on the actual display hardware to verify layout, font size, and readability from viewing distance.
• Prepare offline fallback — if your internet is unreliable, have static slides ready as a backup.
• Rotate content — for multi-day events, the walls update automatically as sessions progress and new photos are uploaded.
