Sched Reviews
"Easy tool to manage an agenda for an event"
What do you like best?
Sched is easy to use and you can create the agenda for an event straight away. I embedded the agenda in my event website and sched automatically created also a one-page website. You can also use the Native Apps for iPhone and Android (paying an additional cost),
What do you dislike?
You can customize the colors but the overall structure is not editable. I was not able to customize the design of my agenda and the organization of it. Breakout sessions are presented all together at the same timing, you cannot decide the order and for some users this layout is a bit confusing.
You can manage only the agenda using sched (Sessions, speakers, exhibitors). If you need a tool to let your attendees interact during the event you will need to find a more complete tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product
After Sched I tested Attendify and I think it is more comprehensive tool for a business conference.
What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I was able to create very quickly an agenda for my conference
"Using Shed for conference planning"
What do you like best?
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
What do you dislike?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product
Really great tool for conference planning!
What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
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.
"Simple and Easy"
What do you like best?
Sched is straightforward and simple. It allows users to upload schedule elements through certain file types rather than individually creating each event, speaker, etc.
What do you dislike?
Sched is very basic in many respects. It does not allow users to create their own HTML-editable page, for example.
Recommendations to others considering the product
The Sched support team is very proactive in updating the website to fit user requests.
What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
My organization used Sched to create a conference schedule that people could reference prior to and during the conference.
"Sched - great tool for any size conference or event"
What do you like best?
Sched is easy to use and very scalable - we use the tool for everything from small, 100 person meetups to our large summits of 3000-4000 attendees.
What do you dislike?
The layout is not as professional looking as I would like. Personal preference, ymmv.
What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Easy way for attendees to create a schedule (love the mobile app). In addition, helps us organize our speakers.
