Event summary & reports
A permanent record of how your event actually went, generated the moment you end it.
The "End Event" button
At the top right of the host view, End Event is the one action that finalizes everything: it stops every timer, rolls up the totals below, marks the event as ended, and emails you the report. It asks you to confirm first, since it can't be undone.
What's in the report
At the top, event-wide totals: number of speakers, total minutes spoken, questions submitted, and votes cast. Below that, a per-speaker breakdown:
- Minutes spoken vs. planned minutes (across all of that speaker's timers)
- Questions submitted and votes cast for that speaker
- Their top question by vote count — only shown if it actually received at least one vote; an unvoted question is never called out as “top”
This same report is emailed to you as the organizer, and stays available from your dashboard — once an event has ended, its row switches from a “Host” link to a “Summary” link.
Good to know — timing of what gets saved
While a timer is actively counting down, the exact elapsed time isn't written to the database every second — that would be a lot of unnecessary writes. Instead, the database only gets updated at each checkpoint: when a timer is paused, ended, or you switch to a different one.
Ending the event is itself one of those checkpoints. If a timer is still running when you click End Event, the app calculates that speaker's exact elapsed time up to that precise moment and saves it as part of ending — you don't need to pause or manually end each timer first. Click End Event at any point and the numbers you get back are accurate to the second.
The report is only ever generated once
