What Sched is

Sched is event management software for conferences, conventions, festivals, meetings, and other events. Organizers can create agendas by adding sessions individually or importing them from a spreadsheet. Attendees browse sessions, build personal schedules, and export them by email, print, or calendar synchronization. Registration supports open and invite-only events, with guest checkout available at some events. Sched also provides registration forms, ticketing, attendee email, attendee apps, and onsite check-in. Every plan includes unlimited email notifications that can be targeted by attendee role or session attendance. Optional chat supports direct and group messages between participants with public profiles. Eventbrite integration imports registrants, with an initial sync that may take up to four hours and later syncs every 15 minutes. Native iOS and Android attendee apps store event data offline after download and can send push notifications. Calendar links work with Apple, Google, and Microsoft Outlook. Sched runs on web, iOS, and Android, is paid, and has no free plan.
