The Speaker's Clock created by a Conference Speaker


I've spoken at lots of conferences of all sizes all over the world. And I've hosted conferences too. All of them have the same challenge of getting speakers to talk to time.

Which is why I built this free web-tool.

Hit the 'fullscreen' button below the timer to run it as an app (in Firefox, Chrome and Safari). Then click on how many minutes you want your speakers to keep to. Along with the countdown timer, the app beeps at 5 minutes, 1 minute and time up.

This works beautifully on an iPad or even an iPhone if you want to use it as your own personal speaking clock. Just remember to go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and select 'Never' to make sure your phone doesn't switch off mid-flow.

And if you want a good speaker who promises not to go over time, drop me a line!


Dave Birss

Who is Dave Birss and what does he talk about?


Dave is an author, podcast host, educator, speaker, consultant and creator of useless internet nonsense.

He speaks on creativity, technology and marketing. Here's an idea of some of the talks he does:

How to kill a creative idea
Why most businesses are designed to destroy fresh thinking.

Hey dude! Where's my hoverboard?
A look at the technology that's about to change our world.

Stories from my CV
You can't be a nude model, musician, comedian, farm hand and advertising creative director without collecting a few stories.

Learning from uselessness
Dave creates ridiculous nonsense on the web. He does it to learn from it. And he's willing to share his secrets.
