Sched Reviews

The ease with which the registration is undertaken. This platform constantly upgrades and improves everytime we use it. GREAT, responsive helpful support.

Nothing. There is nothing missing from this product and everything works properly.

Super easy to get support. Videos are great. Just sad that every time we use it the price has escalated significantly. It was $100 the first year we used it!

Being able to cap numbers is great as well as freeze registration. I'd like next year to have support with having 2 audiences with different access to workshops. WE didn't use it this year as the workshops are still visible even if part of the audience is excluded.

Visual, themed, schedule. Works seamlessly cross-platform.

Our users were happy! Time zone management was brilliant across five and a half zones.

Daily schedule email reminders were well received.

Administrative possibilities are immensely valuable using the well-documented Rest interface.

Just in time (i.e. late) setting of Zoom links worked well - they are revealed shortly before event start times.

The company was very supportive.

The emailed daily schedule does not localize event start times to the time zone of the reader.

You will need to be prepared to dive into the data.

Ensure you have your schedule of events already prepared in a spreadsheet (we used google sheets) for easy upload to Sched.

We did not develop and maintain our website with zoom links, descriptions, etc., once we had loaded our schedule into the Sched system.

I have used Sched many times to organize conferences. The people I work with have a wide range of technology comfort, and I don't think I've ever received a question about how it works from the user point of view, as far as registering for sessions. Even better, the back end is great too. Many options for uploading, many plans to really support your needs, and best of all the customer service is the best out there.

Sched doesn't really have any downsides. Maybe if you're an advanced web designer or coder it might feel too stiff? I really can't think of anything. It's truly ideal for organizing a conference, no matter how many sessions.

Try it. You can set a lot of it up and get a feel for it before you commit to purchase. It's straightforward and easy to use from all angles.

I work in an organization with over 500 employees. This has been the best way to relay information to people, track attendance and trends, and keep information about our conferences in one extremely reliable and easy to use place.

The ease in which you can set your schedule or change your schedule at the last minute.

I like that attendees can look at their sessions see a full description and learn about the speaker. The feedback through Sched is very helpful, as well. (See, I can't pick just one thing!)

We are trying to go paperless as much as possible. I would like to see a scannable QR code available through Sched for our attendees.

The ability to change the schedule. If participants have downloaded Sched (hopefully), they can see the change and make another choice.

I've never had a single complaint from an event participant about setting up an account and using sched to go through and pick their sessions. Given our user base, I always expect some and I get none. Room capacity and wait-listing are great features! I also love the automatic sending of individual schedules on the day of the event.

I'm hopeful that they will soon let us mark attendees as "VIP" meaning they don't count towards the capacity...before the room reaches capacity. Currently this feature exists but you have to wait for the rooms to get full so that's a bit cumbersome...but I love that they have this status!

Sign ups for people outside of our organization...typically we'd have to create accounts for them and step them through the signup process, but Sched takes all of this off of my plate! Also the automatic sending of individual schedules on the day of the event takes away a lot of work!

I used Sched to host conferences several times. The people with whom I work have a wide range of software usability, so I know I have never been asked how it works user-focused and how it works to register for sessions. The background is great, even better. Many upload options, planning to support your needs and the best thing to do is to provide a customer service.

Sched has no downsides, however. Perhaps you might feel too rigid if you're an experienced web designer? I can't think about anything, very. The management of a meeting, irrespective of how many sessions, is really ideal.

Once you commit to buying, you should set a lot up and feel for it. It is simple and easy to use from any direction. The Sched Support Team updates the website very proactively to suit user requests.

Of over 1500 workers, I work in an organisation. This was the best way of transmitting information to people, following the trends and keeping information on our conferences in an extremely trusted and easy-to-use location.

Sched makes it easy to create and deploy schedules for conferences big and small. Sched allows us to deploy our schedule, make changes on the fly and keep track of our attendees in one easy-to-use interface.

Nothing! It is truly a great product - and I look forward to using it again!

We have been able to provide our teachers with a conference-style experience for a small amount of money.

Easy to set up; very user friendly. GREAT customer service.

There are a lot of "pieces" involved in setting this up and seeing it through to implementation -- none of them difficult, but keeping track of them the first time through was a little challenging, as a one-person team working on multiple aspects of this event at the same time.

Using Sched reduced our printing costs significantly. It also helped facilitate communication with both attendees and speakers.

I like the way that shed integrates with my conference site. I think it is very visually appealing and easy for people to navigate, while being simple for me to create on the backend as well

I wish there were a few more options to customize it. We have a lot of moving parts in our conference, so being able to have it be just a little more customizable would be awesome, although it's not a deal-breaker.

Really great tool for conference planning!

When planning a conference, it's crucial to have a platform for conference attendees that is visually clear, easy to interact with and also mobile friendly. It was important to find a program that served multiple purposes.
