Trade show presentation software
Loop it all day.

What goes wrong on stand
Every pause on your stand is a visitor walking on.
You already have the content. Videos, decks, brochures, case studies, spec sheets. The trouble is getting to the right one while somebody is standing in front of you, deciding in about three seconds whether to stay.
01
The screen that looks abandoned
Your team is deep in conversation and the display has stopped, frozen on a paused frame or dropped back to the desktop. Passing visitors read that as nobody home, and keep walking.
02
The file hunt
A visitor asks to see the integration diagram. Ten seconds of folder browsing later, they have already glanced across at the stand opposite. The moment has gone.
03
The file that will not play
The video the agency sent over on Friday runs fine on the laptop and not on the booth screen. You find out at 08:40 on day one, with the hall already filling up.
Attract, explain, prove
One playlist. Three jobs on the stand.
Show floor conversations are not linear. One visitor wants the 30 second version, the next wants proof, the third wants pricing. Build one mixed-format playlist in Backstage, then use different parts of it for different moments.
01
The attract loop
Thirty to ninety seconds of bold visuals that work with the sound off. Runs on its own while your team is busy talking to someone else.
02
The explainer sequence
The two to four minute story your team tells most often. The problem they recognise, how it works, the proof, the next step.
03
The deep-dive library
Technical diagrams, integration detail, pricing, sector case studies. Sitting in the same playlist, one click away when a serious buyer asks.
From folder to show floor
Stand content ready in four steps.
01
Drop the folder in
Videos, PDFs, PowerPoint, images, audio, Excel. Straight from where they already live. Nothing to convert or re-export.
02
Set the running order
Drag items into the order the story needs. Change it between visitors if day one tells you something new.
03
Validate before doors
MediaGun checks every file is present and playable, and will not let you go to Stage until the playlist is clean.
04
Loop it or drive it
Solo mode runs the screen unattended. Step in when a visitor stops, then let it carry on from where you left it.
Solo mode
Break into the loop.
Then let it carry on.
When somebody stops at the screen, jump straight to the item they asked about. Unfold the playlist, pick it, play it. When the conversation ends, the automatic sequence picks up from where you are. Nothing to restart, nothing to exit.
✓ Jump to any item in the middle of a loop
✓ Take manual control without leaving Solo mode
✓ Automatic sequence resumes on its own afterwards
✓ Branded still image whenever the screen is stopped

Day two changes
Update the price sheet at seven. It plays at nine.
MediaGun plays your original file rather than a copy of it. Swap in a newer PDF, keep the same filename and location, and the playlist plays the new one. Nothing to re-add, nothing to reorder, no rebuild between show days.
The one rule: if you rename or move an asset mid-event, revalidate the playlist before you go live again.
On the show floor
Whoever owns the screens owns the impression.
Exhibitors
Run the stand without a technician.
Your marketing lead can build the playlist, check it, and hand it to the sales team. No AV specialist needed on site to keep a screen alive for three days.
Stand builders & agencies
Hand the client something they can drive.
Set up the content structure at build, then leave the client with a screen their own people can operate on day one without ringing you from the hall.
AV suppliers
One playback tool across every screen.
Same setup on the attract screen, the demo pod and the meeting room display, rather than three different players and three sets of quirks to remember.
Show organisers
Seminar theatres and sponsor screens, checked before doors.
Speaker decks and sponsor reels arrive in whatever format the sender had to hand. Validate the lot in one place, run them in order, and keep the changeovers clean.

Common questions
Trade show playback, answered.
How do I loop a presentation at a trade show stand?
Build one playlist of the files you want on the attract screen and run it in Solo mode. MediaGun plays each item for a set time and starts again at the top, so the screen keeps moving whether or not anyone is standing at the console.
Can I play video and PowerPoint in the same playlist?
Yes. Videos, PowerPoint files, PDFs, images, audio and Excel files can sit in one running order and play one after another. There is no conversion step and no switching between applications while the audience is watching.
Can I interrupt the loop when a visitor stops, then go back to it?
Yes. Unfold the playlist and select whatever the visitor asked about, and it plays straight away. When you stop driving it, the automatic sequence continues from that point. You do not need to leave Solo mode or start the loop again.
What happens if a file is missing on the morning of the show?
MediaGun validates the playlist before it lets you present, and flags anything missing or unplayable. If files have moved because someone reorganised the shared drive, you point it at the new location and the rest resolve from there.
Will visitors see my desktop, folders or notifications?
No. Playback is full screen, with folders, application windows and desktop activity kept off the audience-facing display. When the screen is stopped it shows a branded still image rather than whatever happens to be open.
Do I need to convert my video files before the show?
No. Mixed formats play from one playlist as they are. That matters most when content lands late, since a file arriving the night before does not also need an hour of re-encoding.
