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),
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.
After Sched I tested Attendify and I think it is more comprehensive tool for a business conference.
I was able to create very quickly an agenda for my conference
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.
Sched is straightforward and simple. It allows users to upload schedule elements through certain file types rather than individually creating each event, speaker, etc.
Sched is very basic in many respects. It does not allow users to create their own HTML-editable page, for example.
The Sched support team is very proactive in updating the website to fit user requests.
My organization used Sched to create a conference schedule that people could reference prior to and during the conference.
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.
The layout is not as professional looking as I would like. Personal preference, ymmv.
Easy way for attendees to create a schedule (love the mobile app). In addition, helps us organize our speakers.
