Create a Self-Running Presentation

Topic at a glance

Your company has an exhibit at a trade show. Chances are, your salespeople won’t have time to talk personally with every potential customer. With a self-running presentation, you can get your message to more people.

A self-running presentation runs in an unattended setting, such as a museum display, point-of-sale display, trade-show booth, or information desk. In an interactive self-running presentation, viewers advance slides at their own pace, by using the mouse or keyboard. In an automatic self-running presentation, the presentation advances based on the timing you set for each slide. Automatic presentations work best when each slide contains very concise subject matter.
