Cut through the noise on the show floor
PocketStage streams every session and booth demo straight to attendees' own earbuds, with live captions and translation on their phones. Clear audio in a loud hall, an accessible session, and a multilingual audience, with no receivers, headsets, or app to hand out.
Big rooms, loud floors, and an audience that came to listen
Expo halls are noisy, breakout PA systems are hit or miss, and attendees come from everywhere. The traditional fixes stack up fast: assistive-listening receivers to rent and hand out, interpreter booths for each language, and headset systems to set up and staff, all of it per session across a multi-day show, and all of it stopping where the wiring stops.
PocketStage does the same jobs with what every attendee already carries. Show one QR code and the session comes through their earbuds, with captions and translation, whether it is a keynote hall or a booth in the busiest aisle.
What PocketStage gives your event
Cut through show-floor noise
Expo halls are loud. The speaker's voice streams straight to each attendee's earbuds, so a booth talk or theater session comes through clearly even when the aisle next door is running a demo.
Booth demos without blasting the aisle
Present to a crowd at your booth without cranking speakers that bleed into your neighbors. Attendees listen on their own earbuds, so it stays crisp for them and quiet for everyone else.
Breakouts and overflow, covered
Weak PA in a breakout room, or more people than seats? Anyone can listen and read along on their phone, from the back of the room to the overflow space.
Captions for accessible sessions
Live captions on every attendee's phone help people who are deaf or hard of hearing follow keynotes and panels, a cost-effective step toward the ADA effective-communication your venue expects.
Translation for international attendees
Each attendee reads along in the language they choose, so an international audience follows the same session without booking interpreters or handing out a separate channel.
One QR code, any audience size
The same QR code scales from a 20-seat workshop to a packed keynote hall. Run it from a phone at a booth, or from a laptop into the AV board for the main stage.
Less to rent, ship, and staff
The traditional way to deliver clear audio, accessibility, and translation carries rental, setup, and staffing costs at every session. PocketStage replaces most of them with something your attendees already own.
The traditional setup
- Assistive-listening receivers rented and handed out per session
- Interpreter booths and channels booked for each language
- Headset systems set up and staffed on the floor
- Gear to distribute, charge, collect, and sanitize across a multi-day show
- Coverage that ends where the receivers and wiring stop
With PocketStage
- Attendees use the phones and earbuds already in their pockets
- Captions and translation are built in on every plan
- One QR code works for a booth, a breakout, or a main-stage keynote
- Usage-based pricing, so you pay for the minutes each session actually uses
- Nothing to ship, store, charge, or staff between sessions
Actual savings depend on your show, sessions, and audience. Planning a multi-day event? Talk to us.

Good for
Conference & trade-show questions
Does it work on a loud expo floor?+
That is where it shines. Because each attendee listens through their own earbuds rather than a room PA fighting the ambient noise, a booth talk or floor-theater session stays clear even in a busy hall.
How many attendees can join one session?+
The same QR code scales from a small workshop to a large keynote audience. Every listener joins on their own phone, so there is no receiver pool to size in advance. Paid plans set the concurrent-listener ceiling; talk to us if you are planning a very large room.
Can we present at a booth without disturbing neighbors?+
Yes. Attendees hear you on their earbuds instead of loudspeakers, so you can run a lively demo to a crowd without bleeding sound into the aisles or competing with the booth next door.
Can international attendees follow in their own language?+
Yes. Each attendee picks their language and reads live translated captions, so one session reaches a multilingual audience without interpreter booths or separate channels.
Does it help with accessibility and ADA?+
It delivers live captions and clear audio to attendees' own phones, which helps you provide effective communication for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It is a cost-effective tool toward compliance, not legal advice; see our accessibility page for detail.
Can our AV team run it from the sound board?+
Yes. A session can start from a laptop plugged into the board for the main stage, or from a phone at a booth. The speaker just picks their language and presents normally.
