Application Integration Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Event Planning at its BEST! " June 12, 2025 5.0 We have utilized Sched for the past 5 years and I can honestly say it is an amazing tool to helps support any event. The updates to the platform, the ease of use and the ability to personalize the EUI offers attendees a tool to easily create a schedule and get to their sessions without any issues. Pros Sched allowed our team to quickly set up an entire event for 600+ people with the new Call for Papers! It was quick and easy to follow. Cons The check-in process is not the smoothest. We are still trying to tackle how to get this to work to ensure that we capture the true statistics of our event. Review Source CM Cristina M. director Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly recommended!" February 21, 2025 5.0 We started using it for our non-profit festival. The learning curve was not difficult at all and the team at Sched had our backs all the time. Pros Super easy to work with! Every feature is very intuitive and you will not have problems using the software. Cons There are features I will never use, but that is not really a problem. Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/) Reason for choosing Sched Better pricing, easy of use, personal attention. Switched from [Grenadine Event Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/223695/Grenadine-Event-Planner/) They started charging an amount of money we could not possibly afford. Review Source SM Shay M. Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use!" February 21, 2025 5.0 I have been very happy with Sched and the capabilities it offers. Pros Easy to use and update. For the first time, I used it to communicate with attendees and speakers and it worked great. We had over 1400 people so it made it easy to communicate. Cons Teaching others about how to use all features of Sched. Review Source JJ Joy J. Senior Clerk Typist, Wellness Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Versatile and straightforward!" June 26, 2025 4.0 The customer support is great. Overall, it's user-friendly and the interface is easy enough to navigate. Pros The import and export capability is probably the best part of using Sched. Reports can easily be customized in excel. Cons Some of the operations are ambiguous... need to be careful when you want to duplicate an event - somehow the original lost all of its data! Review Source PME Prof Mafor E. CEO Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Satisfied First Time Owner" June 17, 2025 5.0 I am very satisfied with this tool and will recommend it to anyone hosting an event no matter how big or small! Pros Marketing the Ai for Community Good Africa Hub Exchange Insight event was so effortless! Managing the operational side was a breeze! The more exciting part was how participants from the remote ends of Africa could just join the event online without downloading any more software. Cons Nothing for now. If I come across anything later since I am just starting where would you like me to send my thoughts to? Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Sched has more features I need. Zoom was limiting. Review Source Syed N. International ICT Engineer Environmental Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "International ICT Engineer " September 18, 2024 5.0 I received very high technical progressive project running around the World in my previous year attended International Science Summit UNGA 78. Pros Nice to see together all scientists Engineers, high technical team leader to protect the world from disaster, health care, Agricultural using new technology AI, deep machine learning along with all international leaders. Cons It's very high tech science summit along with together with Scientists Engineers along with world leaders. Review Source PC Paolo C. HR Assistant Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An Amazing Event Management Software For Business " September 7, 2024 5.0 Pros I like that Sched aids in the whole process of planning and managing virtual events. It is true to say Sched is an all in one tool that is affordable and delivers. Cons With Sched, we have realized amazing capabilities and no complaints. Review Source KR Karmin R. Instructional Design and Tech. Coord Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "RayPec use of SCHED" November 4, 2024 5.0 We used this tool for a one day event but this was so much easier to use than trying to use a spreadsheet. Pros Overall, it was easy to use. Attendees had a mixed experience as some were able to navigate easily and others had difficulty. I liked the ability to quickly search for a session or speaker to make edits Cons The feedback option. Needed to be a little more adaptable so additional information could be collected. Also the report for feedback didn't cluster by speaker. Review Source Louisa C. Customer Success Manager Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sched has impressive, customizeable features for event management team as well of registered attendees to keep track of their schedules" August 31, 2024 4.0 Sched made organizing a 3-day conference, with many activities and sessions overlapping throughout the day which attendees could choose to attend, so easy for my colleagues to keep track of their schedule and ensure they see all the options laid out for them throughout the days. However, while it is useful for large events with complex schedules, the many features would be overwhelming and unnecessary for attendees registered to go to a smaller or one-off event Pros Capability for attendees of events to utilize the tool to customize their own individual schedules, which is so helpful during a conference or retreat where there are all day meetings and optional activities Cons While it has many features for registered attendees to make the event customized to their intended attendance, it does take a bit to learn how to navigate it and use all the features beyond basic event attendance management Review Source VE Vicky E. Ed Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great app, " September 17, 2024 5.0 Had a Fantastic experience, its simplicity made it easy for me. I ll recommend it. Pros I love its simplicity and its easy to use Cons I don’t have anything I love least about it Review Source OB Oscar B. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Recommend " September 16, 2024 4.0 Easy and pleased to use. Very good interface. Easy to make my inscriptions Pros Easy to use. Very good interface. Easy to make my inscriptions Cons None problem. At all Easy to use. Very good interface. Easy to make my inscriptions Review Source MS Mohammed S. Field Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sched shares the responsibilities and fun in event planning fairly among guests and organizers " July 20, 2021 5.0 My first experience with Sched was as a speaker on a conference event being organized by our foreign collaborators. As my first foreign speaking engagement, I was naturally extremely nervous, but Sched made collaborating with the organizers so easy and that I felt very much at ease and ended up delivering an exceptional session. After that experience, I recommended trying Sched for our own subsequent conference events. Pros Sched allows event invitees to build their own schedules within the frame of the general event. This facility empowers us as organizers to make the necessary adjustments to redirect resources to sessions where they will be most-needed. As speaker in Sched-facilitated events, I can also attest that the control it offers me over my profile to directly suggest changes and modifications to event structure makes the entire experience amazingly rewarding. Cons It can be a bit overwhelming for planning smaller events. Perhaps, there could be a basic version release which can be more suited for planning fun and less professional gatherings. Alternatives considered [Whova](https://www.capterra.com/p/149712/Whova/) Reason for choosing Sched There was no way any other product was going to top my first encounter and experience with Sched. Even though our Research Coordinator prefers Whova for events he leads, I stick with Sched for those I lead. Review Source EB Eva B. Program Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well worth the investment! " October 25, 2019 5.0 The sched team was extremely helpful, timely and consistent. If I had a problem someone was always on it within at least an hour. They make it easy to build out this app! Pros Sched is our "go-to" conference schedule for our annual conference. As the one who built out and managed the conference agenda, I found Sched very easy to use, update and edit as needed. Our conference attendees also appreciated the layout of the app and fetures it comes with. We decided to go with the "native" option of the app, which was definitely worth the price. The native sched app made it easy for us to customize the app to our branding needs. It also made it easier for our members to find in the app store. I really enjoy the ease of developing this sched app. Thankfully, sched provides you with formatted spreadsheets, to make loading your conference agenda much easier. They saved me a lot of time, (though, Idid have to go in and edit each individual session because we have multiple presenters for a concurrent session.) Sched's CMS for editing descriptions is pretty straightforward. I am also EXTREMELY grateful for the opportunity to upload .pdfs to each session. This came in very helpful this year. Favorite features of Sched: spreadsheets to make uploading and developing easier, the ability for attendees to rate sessions (giving us great follow up data!), ability to attach .pdfs, .jpgs, .docs, to each individual session, ease of assigning speakers to sessions, ability to add in exhibitors/sponsor information. You can't beat this price. If you are looking for a conference app that is easy on both the management end and the user end, I would suggest Sched! Cons The only bad thing I would ay about sched, is that it doesn't have as many fancy detures or plugins like other conference apps I have looked at. While there are some things I wish I could have added to our conference app, at the end of the day they weren't missed nor needed. It's also not the most robust app, so if you have multiple presentations in a concurrent session- it's not an ideal product for that. Reason for choosing Sched Pricing was our ultimate decision piece to go with you all, though simple clean design and an easy to use product helped in deciding. Review Source Heather B. Producer, Lit Crawl Portland Fine Art Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sched is my best friend!" November 15, 2018 5.0 Communication is the main problem that Sched solves. It's an at-a-glance snapshot of an entire evening that easily drills down into specifics. It invites interaction, so that's another communication problem solved/helped. I couldn't be more thrilled to have Sched working on my event's behalf. Thank you! Pros What DON'T I love about this software? I love that it does whatever I want--I love that it's accessible and can be organized in so many different views, I love that it's embeddable on other sites, that the links to individual events are shareable, that it's COLOR CODED. I guess if I had to boil it down, I love that Sched creates a central place where my entire event can be housed, with all its moving pieces and participants, and that it's equally friendly to internal and external audiences. Cons I might be missing this, but it might be fun to be able to upload artwork for individual sessions. I've also had people ask for a maps function, so it might be cool to be able to see all my venues on a map or diagram, with addresses attached. I'm sure I haven't even begun to understand all that Sched is capable of. I just love that it works for me every year and that my users are getting more acquainted with it, so. . . thanks for staying consistent and continuously improving our experience! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Think of it as the streamlined Everbrite app for both attendees and organizers" October 3, 2019 5.0 Don't think of this web service/mobile app as a replacement for Everbrite. Think of it as a complimentary app that can quickly turn volunteers into productive teams and for users to avoid the bloatware of Everbrite as an option. Very impressed and thoroughly satisfied with Sched. Pros I recently started using Sched when volunteering at an international business conference. In addition to Everbrite, we were trained on using Sched for checking in attendees and managing custom schedules for workshops, seminars, etc. Though it has less features than say Everbrite, Sched feels much faster and streamlined (especially on my older mobile devices). Fast loading and transitions. The minimalistic UX/UI makes learning how to use the app simple for even non-tech-savvy users. I really liked the website integration. It was very smooth to get people to register or sign up for events then have those events make up a custom schedule for attendees in the mobile Sched app. With thousands of attendees and dozens of workshops a day, we never ran into any technical issues. And I like their cute logo as well :) Cons I didn't have any issues with using the app but the only hiccup was explaining the name to others who have never heard or used it. I think for non-native English users, the single syllable abbreviated name was confusing. Review Source Response from Sched October 4, 2019 Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. I'm so happy to hear Sched streamlined your event and love that we could "quickly turn volunteers into productive teams." This is exactly something we strive for every day. I've passed on your kind words to the whole team -- you made our week! James C. Technical Evangelist Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent package and service" August 24, 2018 5.0 We used to publish our own website with conference info; it had the basic info, but it was hard to keep the pieces consistent. Now we link to the Sched site from our event page and attendees find everything there. Speakers can post their pix and handouts and complete/update their profiles and send e-mail blasts to all who signed up for their workshop. We got good reporting and from it (and Google Analytics) see a high engagement rate (not just page views; over half set up accounts and created a personal schedule). This is all from their lowest service level/tier; higher levels integrate more with registration/payment etc., but we already have an online store and used it for front-end registration. Pros One-stop shop for event management: attendees, speakers/handouts, exhibitors, rooms, messaging, feedback, social sharing.... Mobile-friendly site and app for participants to create/manage their schedules, submit feedback, share content, etc.. Smart import/export/update Responsive personal tech support Good pricing plans especially for nonprofits Cons We ran into a couple of small limitations (e.g. can't embed image in e-mail blast), but we found workarounds and Sched team is using our feedback to improve their platform. Review Source Marci B. Archivist Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Go to Conference Scheduling App" March 5, 2019 5.0 Pros Sched works seamlessly on computers and as a smartphone app. As a conference attendee, I loved how events were coded into different categories, with different colors representing those categories. I also liked how you could create your daily schedule ahead of the conference, and receive email alerts about the events you were scheduled to go to. Sched also allows you to schedule multiple things at the same time, which is key at a busy conference where you have many events and sessions you would like to attend. This capability allows you to see the possible events you've already narrowed your choice down to, but does not restrict you to one. Cons I did not like how in order to select events to add to your calendar, you had to scroll through every session/event on every day. The app was not dynamic enough to restrict your options to only one category of events. Similarly, when the conference day was over, you could not easily go back and look at all of the sessions that occurred the day before. To do that, you had to go use the web version. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Director, Community Engagement & Exchange Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sched offers great value plus great support" October 11, 2018 5.0 This makes it so much easier for our conference attendees to read descriptions and customize schedules. It is inexpensive and easy to use. Pros I think Sched's customer service is TERRIFIC. Every time I had a problem or question, they responded promptly and helpfully. When we first used Sched in 2017, we had lots of questions about integrating it with Eventbrite and displaying it in particular ways, and their support made it so easy. We returned in 2018 because we had such a good experience. Overall, Sched is very easy to use and customize. Cons Sched is still lacking some features that would be useful for academic conferences, but their customer support team has indicated that they are giving them some thought. Specifically, author order is alphabetical (except in the admin area and on Android phones), and multi-paper sessions aren't easy to group together. For this, we've tried two different hacks, neither that good. Nonetheless, these weren't deal breakers! Review Source PS Paul S. Head of Programming Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Been using Sched for years" March 31, 2024 5.0 Pros User interface is clean, easy to understand, and reliable. Cons Sched doesn't support some features that would make it a comprehensive tool for our event planning—specifically, "hidden" events for things like sound checks, additional fields for things like tech needs, etc. This isn't really the fault of Sched; they're not necessarily intended for these sorts of uses. Review Source KT Kristen T. Instructional Coach Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Couldn't Do It Without Sched" March 11, 2019 5.0 We are a preK-12 school district that hosts a yearly EdCamp in which teachers sign up for workshops delivered by their peers. Sched is a huge time saver, in that it allows us to communicate directly with presenters and attendees, to control the schedule, to create room signage, to add venue maps, and to generally make the day run smoothly. It saves paper, as we don't have to print all those workshop overviews (which we were always doing at the last minute because we had to chase people down for them!), and helps us control the numbers of people attending workshops so they are not overbooked. I don't know how we would be able to do this at this scale without Sched! Pros This software takes so much of the redundancy out of event organizing. No need to copy and paste information into twenty different locations, or to type in email addresses multiple times. It is a huge time saver! Cons I would like to be able to add a bit more design to the room signage (but it is a hugely helpful feature). It would also be nice for workshop presenters who are also attendees to have their own workshops in their own schedules, without it looking like they are taking up a seat. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Instructional Technology Facilitator Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sched review" September 27, 2018 5.0 Positive. I highly recommend it if you have the money in the budget. Pros The Sched app is a great option for managing events where attendees will register. I only have experience using it within the field of education, but was very pleased. The best aspects are the: 1. customer support and online help 2. ability to categorize sessions 3. ability to link with social media platforms 4. quick uploads with spreadsheets (importing) 5. visual layout of schedule 6. user-friendliness for attendees 7. mobile-friendly website and app Cons I have no real major concerns to submit; however, I would point out that our attendees were confused by one feature (which was not Sched's fault). Attendees can "register" for sessions on the app; but we used this feature so that attendees could more so plan their schedule and find back-up sessions, not to actually reserve spots. It would be great if this was an actual feature somehow. Review Source Kelly F. Program Director for Residential Colleges Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love this Event Scheduling software" December 12, 2018 5.0 The folks are great! So responsive when I need help, and have a great sense of humor. They keep things fun :D Pros I really like the ease of use, both for the admins when putting the schedule together, and the speakers and attendees in figuring out what's going on and where to go. The feature that sold it to us is that presenters can upload their presentations directly to their presentation description, so it's so easy for them to have everything they need at their fingertips. Cons I can't think of anything, honestly. It's a really great product. Review Source Susan H. Director, Faculty Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sched’s intuitive design taught me how to conference-plan" August 23, 2018 5.0 We are building momentum for professional development by keeping Sched as the “look” of our event for the past three years. Pros Visually appealing and professional, easy to collaborate with facilitators and speakers to add their own session info, great feedback reports. Support is fast and super helpful. Appreciate the discounted rate for educational/non-profits. Cons Some people want a print program, but I feel great about supporting our organization’s sustainability initiative by using an electronic schedule. Easy to update as needed, too! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Conference and Event Director Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool for Planners" November 6, 2018 5.0 I work with quite a few non-profits and Sched provides a quick and easy platform for hosting an online agenda that does not break the bank. Its extremely easy to use and the customer service department is ready and willing to quickly assist it if needed. Pros It's really easy to use and fits within my clients budget. Sched provides a quick platform for posting an online agenda that allows for survey feedback, sponsor exposure, and speaker highlights. Cons I really don't have any complaints about the software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelance Writer/Blogger Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sched is helpful in my everyday life" April 15, 2019 4.0 Pros Sched is a very great program and intuitive of my needs. Highly recommend to the workplace! Cons I have nothing to complain about. It's a great program.
