Signage that keeps pace with your event.

From opening registration screens to closing keynote video walls — manage every display at your venue from one dashboard, and push last-minute changes in seconds.

viewneo is a cloud-based digital signage platform for events, conferences, trade shows, exhibitions, and permanent venues. It connects agenda boards, wayfinding panels, registration screens, sponsor displays, and video walls to one browser-based CMS — so the team running the event can update every screen from a single dashboard, even on the day.

What makes events signage different from permanent retail or office signage?

Events move faster. A speaker room changes at 07:30 on the morning of a three-day conference. A sponsored session is added 48 hours before doors open. The keynote backdrop needs a speaker swap thirty minutes before showtime. Static printed signage can’t respond, and a system that requires a technician at each screen doesn’t scale across a convention centre floor.

viewneo is built around the same reality. The browser-based CMS has no installed software — log in from a laptop or tablet in the ops room, change a room assignment, and the affected boards update in seconds. The Open Interface API connects to live data feeds, so agenda boards can update automatically when the source-of-truth schedule changes.

How does digital wayfinding work at a large venue?

Attendees navigate by reading signs. When those signs are wrong — because a room moved, a floor plan was reprinted months before the event, or the signage contractor didn’t get the final layout — staff spend the day giving directions instead of managing the event.

viewneo wayfinding panels display floor plans, directional arrows, and current room assignments pulled from the live schedule. Install panels at entrances, elevator banks, and key junctions. When a session moves, update the assignment once in the CMS and every relevant panel reflects the change. For multi-building campuses or convention centres with multiple halls, multiscreen installations let you group panels by zone and push zone-specific content.

Real-time agenda and session boards

Room signs outside breakout sessions are the most-read displays at any conference. They tell attendees whether they are in the right place, who is speaking, and when the next session starts. Managing them manually — printing new cards, dispatching staff — is expensive and error-prone.

The viewneo Open Interface accepts structured data from external scheduling tools. When the programme changes in your event-management platform, the change propagates to every board automatically. For simpler setups, the CMS has a built-in scheduling interface: set start and end times for each playlist and the board flips content on cue, with no manual intervention needed during the event.

Sponsorship tiers often include signage rights — logo exposure in lobbies, product showcase slots on screens near specific sessions, or a full takeover of the entrance video wall during arrival. Managing this manually risks missed rotations, incorrect duration, or sponsor logo mix-ups.

viewneo playlists handle it with precision. Assign each sponsor’s assets to a playlist, set the duration and rotation frequency, and schedule start and end times that match the contracted slot. viewneo Enterprise lets you manage hundreds of display groups with different sponsor mixes — a useful capability if you sell separate packages for hall A vs. hall B, or for morning vs. afternoon slots. The scheduling engine supports dayparting, so the programme for breakfast registration looks different from the afternoon expo floor.

Video walls for main stages and lobbies

Large-format feature walls — a 3×3 grid in the arrival hall, a wide-format backdrop on the main stage — require frame-accurate synchronisation across multiple players. The screen-sync plugin locks all players in an installation to a common timeline, so the wall runs as one seamless canvas rather than multiple out-of-step panels.

Typical event video wall uses include:

  • Main stage backdrops — showing speaker slides, live feeds, or branded animation behind the podium
  • Lobby feature walls — ambient programme branding, sponsor takeovers, live social media feeds through the Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn plugins
  • Expo hall entrance displays — large-format welcome messaging and programme highlights
  • Awards ceremony screens — category reveals, winner names, sponsor recognition

For the hardware side, viewneo runs on commercial large-format displays from any manufacturer. The viewneo Butler media player handles most single-screen installations; video walls require a player-per-panel configuration managed centrally from the CMS.

Temporary and seasonal deployments

Not every event venue is a permanent installation. A trade show organiser deploys screens for three days and removes them. A corporate conference team rents a hotel ballroom and needs six panels for one afternoon. A seasonal venue — an outdoor festival, a sporting event — sets up for the season and tears down in autumn.

viewneo is designed for this pattern. Media players connect to any HDMI display with no fixed infrastructure. Subscription plans are monthly. Deploy for a show, return the hardware, and cancel or pause the subscription until the next event. For larger fleets, the hardware catalogue lists the available players; the CMS manages all of them from one account regardless of how many events are running simultaneously.

Events signage shares infrastructure with permanent venue and hospitality deployments. If your venue hosts both events and day-to-day operations — a hotel ballroom, a conference centre with a permanent tenant floor — viewneo manages both from the same account.

What viewneo does for events

One platform, every screen at your venue.

  • Connect a live agenda feed via the Open Interface API. Room and session boards update automatically when the programme changes — no manual edits.

  • Show directional maps, floor plans, and current room assignments on lobby displays and corridor panels. Attendees find their sessions without stopping staff.

  • Schedule sponsor logos, product demos, and advertising slots with precise start and end times. Sell and deliver sponsorship tiers as a playlist.

  • Welcome and registration screens

    Greet attendees by name, display badge-pickup instructions, and promote the programme — all driven by the same CMS that runs the rest of the venue.

  • Drive video walls and multi-panel installations with frame-accurate synchronisation. Ideal for main stage backdrops and lobby feature walls.

  • Add screens for a single show and remove them after. viewneo runs on any commercial display with a plug-and-play media player — no permanent infrastructure needed.

Room boards outside conference session rooms show one session moved to room 4 and another cancelled.

Room and session boards that update themselves

Connect your event-management platform or schedule spreadsheet to viewneo's Open Interface. The moment a speaker room changes or a session is cancelled, every affected board updates — no backstage chase to find the AV desk.

Video walls for main stages and lobbies

The viewneo screen-sync plugin drives multi-panel video walls with frame-accurate synchronisation, so a 3x3 grid runs as a single canvas. Use it for keynote backdrops, sponsor takeovers, or ambient branding in arrival halls.

Last-minute updates from any device

Event day is never the day the schedule holds. The browser-based viewneo CMS requires no installed software — log in from the ops room, update a room assignment, and it is live on every affected screen within seconds.

Scalable hardware for any venue size

From a single registration kiosk to a convention centre with hundreds of panels, viewneo media players connect to any commercial display. Add screens for a show and decommission them after — the CMS scales with you.

Frequently asked questions

Can viewneo pull a live agenda from our event management system?
Yes. The viewneo Open Interface accepts data feeds from external systems via REST API. If your event-management platform can export a JSON or XML feed, viewneo can consume it and update room boards automatically. Custom integration work depends on the source system.
How does multi-screen synchronisation work?
The screen-sync plugin locks multiple players to a common timeline so a video wall runs as one seamless image. It handles displays in a grid arrangement or stacked vertically — set up the layout in the CMS and the players do the rest.
Can we use viewneo for a one-off event, not a permanent installation?
Yes. viewneo is designed for temporary deployments. Rent or purchase media players, connect them to displays at your venue, and remove everything after the event. Subscription plans are monthly and can be paused or cancelled.
What hardware does viewneo recommend for events?
Most event setups use the viewneo Butler media player, which connects to any HDMI display. For large video walls, contact us — the right player depends on the display arrangement and resolution. See the full hardware catalogue.
Can sponsors get their own content slot without accessing the full CMS?
Sponsor content is managed centrally by your team. You upload the approved sponsor assets, build a playlist with timed rotations, and viewneo plays them on schedule. Sponsors do not need CMS access. Approval workflows can be added via the API.
