Sched

Pros: The ease for participants to have an overview of all activities during a complex event The app looks fabulous Great helpdesk

Cons: Price is quite high The invitation process. There is one box you can use to make an invitation text. If different people need different texts, you have to change it in the that same specific box. It takes some time to find out how it works around inviting speakers resp. participants.

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!

Pros: Ease of use for attendees to sign up for sessions. Bulk uploading sessions with an import template is very easy.

Cons: Admin doesn't have control to adjust feedback collection time frame. Filtering sessions is not very user friendly with only 2 levels type and subtype. Speakers who are attendees often have to be merged manually.

Pros: I loved the availability of the people. They were responsive and accessible whenever I had questions. Also, the ease of the the program. On the backend, the system was very easy to navigate. On the user-end, participants were able to utilize the system very easily.

Cons: We did have some issues with our main login buttons not being linked to the session. I was able to troubleshoot this issue (because I like to have a back up plan) by embedding the link to the session description. I was thinking, if technology fails (which unfortunately it did), our participants would still be able to access the sessions right away through the direct link.

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?

Pros: The entire Sched team - from initial sales to tech support - is outstanding. And they really listen to feedback. On more than one occasion we've seen suggestions from our attendees incorporated into the platform.

Cons: They are always improving the platform, but occasionally their web tutorials don't include new info.

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.

Pros: How intuitive it is for both admin and attendees; the color coding; the beautiful layout; the helpfulness of its staff.

Cons: My event runs several simultaneous sessions in rooms of various capacity. I'd love the ability to permanently associate a room to a certain capacity, but it is not available.

Pros: Simplicity of the tasks makes it easy to organize and manage events.

Cons: There are still some features that need to be added for full functionality

Pros: Sched is a fabulous product that provides premium level features that are competitive with top vendors while offering pricing entry points that are accessible to organizers on a tight budget. Their human customer service is quick to respond and helpful. I find their user guides intuitive, appreciate the customization we can do for sponsors (including push-notifications to attendees), the ability to allow presenters to edit their descriptions, and the new call-for-proposals feature to handle the submission and acceptance process in one place.

Cons: The product has grown so much over the years. I think the few things that 10 years ago made it more of an affordable Plan B when you couldn't afford Plan A have been addressed. They really listen to users on feature requests and suggestions, and provide fantastic support when I don't know how to do something.

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.

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.

Cons: All was best ! Reminder to my daily schedules and well organized and synchronized to the calendar

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.

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.

Pros: I love its simplicity and its easy to use

Cons: I don’t have anything I love least about it

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

Pros: Easy to understand and use Colorful layout makes mental mapping easy Space between items makes it easy to read

Cons: The phrase "Back to Schedule" is too small and looks insignificant.

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.

Pros: Ease of use is what I liked the most about the schedule

Cons: Having to keep hitting the back button is what I liked the least about the schedule

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

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.

Pros: Simple and clear schedule display, relatively easy navigation.

Cons: I want to be able to filter the attendee list to determine who hasn't logged in or completed a schedule, and then send a specific message just to that group. I also want to be able to better control an Eventbrite integration so that only certain ticket types are imported.
