Legal Advocate Training Manager Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Used Sched to Organize our Annual Conference " December 7, 2020 5.0 We needed to organize a virtual conference for advocates around BC on fairly short order. We found that Sched did all hat we wanted from a tool and was way cheaper than other options. Pros The set up and format of the agenda is great! I like having colors for different streams - it makes the agenda easy to use. Speakers and participants generally found it easy to use. Cons We are interested in looking at how to do follow up evaluations. We would like to be able to modify the basic sched questions to suit our needs. In webinars we were able to give participants a link for feedback. Will look into google options. Reason for choosing Sched Sched was easy to use and not expensive. We did not need more. Sched staff were very helpful. FYI - we never could agree how to say it. I know it's too late to change your spelling now but SKED would make it clearer. Maybe that's a Canadian thing. Review Source Response from Sched December 8, 2020 Hi Lois, thank you for the review. We're so glad Sched was what you needed for your event! We do get questions about how to pronounce the company name all the time. It's become a bit of a joke at this point so we made a silly video: https://sched.com/say-it. VR Verified Reviewer Director of Operations Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cheap Affordable App for Conference" September 26, 2018 4.0 Pros Sched is really simple to use. They have fantastic customer service. The price was very affordable for our budget. They are constantly developing their software to provide more services. We have over 250 events during our conference and they have a smiley face rating system and we were also able to post a survey for each session. Cons There are a few reporting functions that are not available. Some were there before they updated their system and others features would be nice to add. We'd love a push notification on schedule changes. We'd love to download a report that included speaker bios or an alphabetical list of speakers and their sessions would be ideal. Review Source LS Lane S. Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Horrible Customer Service" November 20, 2019 2.0 It wasn't too difficult to get everything set up, but we needed a human to help us select the right package to purchase. It was way too difficult reaching someone and we were actually told that no one could assist us for at least another week because that department was going to a conference. Pros We liked that if needed, you could print out the schedule. Cons There is no customer support. The only way to reach someone for assistance is to find a spot on THEIR calendar for them to call you. Alternatives considered [LineUpr](https://www.capterra.com/p/155777/LineUpr/) Reason for choosing Sched We actually tried them first and it was such a bad experience that we switched over to Lineupr. Review Source Response from Sched November 26, 2019 Hi Lane, I'm very sorry we were not available for a call right away when you reached out. As a fully remote company, we take one trip a year to do big-picture planning and foster connection. We will be working together to create a better system for handling inquiries during our future off-site team events. AK Allison K. ITRT Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We love Sched" August 2, 2019 5.0 Pros This is the first year we used Sched for our district wide technology conference we have every year. We are so thankful we did. We have more data, are able to share session resources, are able to get session feedback, and have a great community of teachers through this software. We will be back for more, Sched! Cons One thing I would love to see is a few different levels of permissions within the software. We would like our speakers/presenters at our conference to be able to see their session attendees and have more information about them, even if a user has set themselves up as private. Review Source Response from Sched August 5, 2019 Hi Allison, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Sched! We look forward to working together again. We're brainstorming on better ways to handle the private profiles for speakers/presenters and we'll keep you posted on any changes. Ryan B. Principal Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Professional Development Platform" September 18, 2018 5.0 Service team is very responsive and values customer experience Pros Easy to use platform to organize and facilitate multi-session professional learning events Cons Sched requested feedback on ways to better meet our needs; Minor feedback was provided to improve my overall experience Review Source jD jasper D. CEO Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "NO NETWORKING FUNCTIONALITY?" September 2, 2016 2.0 As an attendee of an event, Sched is very easy to use, until you want to connect with another attendees and then it's TERRIBLE. You have to rely on the delegates uploading their social network accounts and then use Linked in or FB to message them. This is not good. We have received many complaints within 24 hours of launching the service. FAIL. Pros Usability Cons Connectivity between delegates is ZERO Review Source Response from Sched March 24, 2025 Hey Jasper!  Thank you for taking the time to review and help Sched improve. I'm sorry for my delayed response, Capterra didn't publish this review for me to see until December 2017 for some reason. We do now offer networking capabilities with attendees being able to connect on Sched. They can currently do this via badge scanning and connection requests soon. Each attendees has connections center where they can take notes and follow-up with other attendees. Sched’s integrated messaging capabilities also help facilitate networking and connections as well. For example, attendees can directly message one another and create or join group chats.   The above connection capabilities are in addition to the existing social network capabilities and participant directories make it easy to find other people with similar interest or goals. We’re sorry you had a prior bad experience and please let us know if you’d like to explore some of the latest capabilities and our roadmap!   VM Valamere M. Online Instructor E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy tool for attendees to view schedule at any conference or event" August 31, 2019 3.0 Overall, my experience with Sched was mediocre, at best. I only used Sched to see my conference schedule at a glance. Although, if given the chance to use Sched again, I will try out the other features, such as using my profile to find others at an event to network and connect with. Pros I like the ease in downloading the Sched app and the fact that it is free to use. Also, the interface is very user friendly with eye-catching colors to highlight your event schedule. This makes viewing your event agenda or workshop/session schedule easy to find. Cons I have discovered the Sched application version is different from the web version. For example, I recently attended a conference that allowed attendees to access both versions. I logged into both versions of Sched and found the web version to be more accurate. The web version was updated more frequently with current information about the conference sessions. However, when accessing the app version, the updated information was not available and some of the session information was missing. This makes Sched unreliable if both versions do not sync accurately. Review Source Response from Sched September 3, 2019 Hi Valamere, Thank you so much for reviewing Sched. I really appreciate you taking the time. You'll be happy to know we're working to improve how the app refreshes the data to ensure it always displays the most up-to-date information. AF Ami F. President Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sched.org review" March 7, 2019 5.0 Pros It's easy to import and export to Excel. Messages available to several types of attendees, and automatic emails with attendees' sessions. Cons Missing some automatic refreshing of screens. Review Source ZI Zach I. Agent Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Event Integration needs work" March 27, 2019 3.0 Pros I like the idea of a desktop scheduling app that syncs with my phone. I like that vendors like conventions and festivals can use this app to schedule their programs. Cons I am currently using Sched in order to plan my days at WonderCon and it's a nightmare. WonderCon (one of the programs at Comic Con) requires you to sign up for a Sched account in order to save your schedule. And they also suggest you download the ComicCon app. But when you do that, Sched tries to get you to download their app as well. I made my whole plan through the Sched app and it did not sync with my WonderCon schedule (desktop) or the Comic Con app. In addition the sorting function on the app is not as comprehensive as the sorting on desktop. For instance, on the Sched app, you can only look at the 3-Day WonderCon schedule and sort by the top tier categories (Programs, Anime, New, etc.) On Desktop, you can see the full breakdown (like under Programs, there are over a dozen sub-categories.) It's insane that I need 3 different logins - one to WonderCon/Comic Con in general, One to Sched, and another for the WonderCon/Sched hybrid. Honestly, I am copying/pasting what I am interested into a googledoc because this is so frustrating. Review Source SB Sharon B. Coordinator of Registration Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great way to manage your schedule for conferences" January 26, 2019 5.0 Overall this app was so easy to use and allowed me to get the most out of the conference and all the activities being offered over the four days I was there. We are now highly considering using this App for our adult programs during the summer. I think using this App will allow our participants to have access to information about all the great lectures and events we offer during their time at our camp. Pros I recently attended a work conference in Boulder Colorado and they used the Sched app for managing the conference schedule. Sched is really user-friendly. I loved being able to check the app to see what my next session was and find the location of my workshop. The review feature allows you to review a session once it is over. This is great as it helps get really in the moment feedback. There are so many great features on this App for example having a directory of all the attendee helps you to find people that you meet or remember names of contact you made. Once of the best features is the information is live and can be changed if a correction needs to be made. There was a venue changes for the first evening event of the conference and the organizers were quickly able to make that change a few hours before the event. Cons I wish you could include a map of the venue on the App. It does give you the location, however, their is no map to reference within the App. Luckily our venue was small and being able to move from one workshop to another was not a problem. Review Source KO Kate O. Event Coordinator Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Sched! " January 26, 2021 5.0 Love it! our event attendees comment on how they love it and find it easy to use. Pros I love how schedules are displayed for the participant, so clear and easy to see. I also love the ability to email attendees from the platform and how they also get a daily reminder. It is also wonderful how we can personalize the system with our own branding and images! Cons I feel the admin layout could be a little simpler, it took me a minute to learn. Not bad once you learn it though! Review Source RH Roseann H. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Event Delivery App" June 17, 2021 5.0 Fantastic! Pros I've been a Sched user for nearly 10 years. It's easy to use for managers and attendees, is clean, and integrates well with either online or in person events. Cons Occasional glitches with things like syncing non-ticketing items in Eventbrite so those who didn't buy a ticket got access, but customer service is helpful. Review Source CS Cecilia S. Chemistry Lab Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sched has been amazingly useful" August 28, 2018 5.0 We have used Sched three times for campus-wide conference style events with over 100 sessions each, attended by 600+ people. It is easy to use for the event admin, and provides a clean user interface for the attendees. Pros The simplicity of use by the event admin. It's well designed and sensible. The bulk upload for speakers and sessions is fantastic! And the customer support has been very responsive. We like the way it generates sessions/room, also - we print them and tape to the door. Cons The attendee's individual schedule should be easier to find (they don't expect to have to click on their photo). I have struggled to find info in the help section - it's a little had to find details. Review Source AG Arthur G. Senior Communications Officer Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple, effective, responsive and intuitive" August 8, 2019 5.0 Managing our many annual events is much easier and more available across digital and print platforms using sched. Pros Easy to organize and update. Simple for many of the contributing staff to use and access. Clean UI. Straightforward and easy to update with changes. Very responsive help. Cons No ability for direct p2p interaction. Harder to print attendee lists in a well-formatted way. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Marketing Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/248536/Salesforce-Marketing-Cloud/) Reason for choosing Sched Ease of use and affordability Review Source Response from Sched August 12, 2019 Hi Arthur, Thank you so so much for taking the time to share your experience with our platform. I know Nick on our team documented your request for p2p connection so we'll be in touch when we start to tackle that. Looking forward to working on more events together! WN Wendy N. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can't live without Sched" October 7, 2019 5.0 Haven't had to print a conference program in years... major cost savings and we can make agenda changes on the fly. Pros We do multiple conferences each year and have realized we can't live without Sched. Incredibly easy to use and our attendees love it as well. We've been using Sched since 2012. Great value too! Cons We simply haven't had enough spare time to dive deeper into everything Sched can offer. Hopefully we'll be able to do that and introduce new features in 2020. Reason for choosing Sched Value Easy of use Review Source Response from Sched October 14, 2019 Hi Wendy, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Sched! It's been a pleasure working with you on your events and growing together. Looking forward to many more years to come. VR Verified Reviewer Co President Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Have used for years" January 29, 2019 5.0 Great customer support! Pros After years of looking for a schedule software, we keep coming back to Sched. Great support and easy to use. Cons There is some inflexibility in the look and we put it on our website but very little downside. Review Source JC Jennifer C. Librarian Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Service" April 5, 2021 4.0 This was a perfect option for our needs this year, and now that we know more about how it can be used, it will be used more often for our future conference needs. Pros Having this program to host our virtual conferences was invaluable. We were able to use tickets for the different days and events of our conferences and having all content in one location made it easy for our attendees and members. We have used this program for a virtual schedule for in-person events in previous years and being able to transition that knowledge to our virtual experiences was easy. One of the greatest things about this software/program is the ease of use. Cons I would like to have save buttons at the top and bottom of screens and being able to see what an non-admin would see. (I didn't think about creating an attendee account with a different email address.) We were using tickets for the first time, and there were a few small problems but they were easily fixed. Review Source BH Brooke H. Director of Parent Engagement Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Used at a Conference and LOVED!" September 19, 2019 4.0 Loved using it. I will try and find a way to use it more in work settings. Pros Love the easiness of selecting which sessions I wanted to attend. It then stored it and made it super easy for me to know exactly where to go. Cons I had trouble uploading an image. I tried several times and it would not let me. Other than that I really enjoyed using it. Review Source Response from Sched September 20, 2019 Hi Brooke, thanks so much for sharing your experience with using Sched at a conference! So happy to hear you loved it. I'm sorry you had trouble uploading a profile photo. If it happens again in the future, feel free to reach out to us at support@sched.com. CR Carmen R. Business operations manager Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SCHED HTH" September 6, 2018 4.0 It's probably a great software for people that use it consistently but for user's like me - who only use it once a year it's not so great. Pros It's ability to allow us to create an online agenda with workshops, deep dives etc. for our event attendees; it's ability to let attendees enroll for workshops etc. Cons We only use it once a year for a very large event and I feel like I have to relearn it every year because of changes that have been made to the software. Review Source MH Maureen H. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SCHED - helped us organize an all school event where students chose their own schedules" February 4, 2019 5.0 We were able to organize an all school MLK Jr. Day celebration where students got to pick their own schedules using the sched.com software. It was amazing and user friendly for 9th-12th graders to use on their own. Pros I like the admin access and how easy it is to create spreadsheets to analyze the data you're looking for. Cons We had some log in confusion with students....but nothing that a "reset password" didn't fix. Review Source SR STACEY R. First Grade Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sched is great for meetings" January 4, 2020 5.0 My overall experience has been wonderful. I really love this program. It makes a huge school district scheduling trainings super easy. It is a wonderful asset to any large corporation. Pros My district uses Sched to schedule our entire district professional training. This is fabulous I love that it emails me my schedule and I can access it all day as I attend trainings. Cons It is difficult to find your meeting sometimes. There are so many meetings scheduled. Once I find the correct meeting it is very easy to register for the trainings I want to attend. Review Source MM Melissa M. Office Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great success" October 24, 2018 5.0 Experience with Sched was great. We've used this app a few years in a row, and are very happy with it. Customer Support is awesome as well! Pros The ability to have multiple admins make changes and the ease of use are what we liked best for our event. Out of 120 people of varying technical comfort levels, no one had an issue. Cons Some improvements to the mobile experience would be great. Review Source KE Khalid E. COO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfectly Simple" August 16, 2018 5.0 Really loved having an online platform that was easy to edit and easy to share. The mobile platform for the attendees helped reduce printing. Pros Love the simplicity and ease of use allowing us to easily map out schedules for our programs. Cons Hard to find something that we did not like about the software. Only suggestion would be to make more customizable printing options Review Source RK Rachel K. Conference Program Chair Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sched at Educator Conference" February 26, 2019 4.0 I believe our non-profit board will definitely use Sched again. We had a super easy time setting up our conference schedule and getting in the speakers and attendees in. We actually had several comments on our conference evaluation which particularly said that the conference attendees enjoyed using Sched. Pros The non-profit board I work with loved that we were able to save money on program printing costs for our educator conference by using Sched. It also taps into most of our conference attendees' desire for convenience through technology. No one had to schlep around heavy swag bags to carry their program! Cons I honestly don't have any complaints! The only difficulty we had at our educator conference occurred when people couldn't remember their Apple ID or app store information in order to download Sched, but that is an entirely different problem.

SQL Server Engineer Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review from an attendee of a conference that used Sched" November 14, 2018 5.0 Quickly scroll through personalized events and sessions or swith to the overall schedule of the event in case you need to. Pros Super! When you've made your pick which sessions you want to attend just select them using Sched and your personalized schedule is available, without having to go through the whole schedule of the entire event. Cons As an attendee I did not encouter any cons ...
