Sched helps organizers schedule and manage conferences, conventions, festivals, seminars, and professional development events.
What Sched is
Sched helps organizers schedule and manage conferences, conventions, festivals, seminars, and professional development events. Attendees can build personal agendas, while organizers manage event content and schedules. Each plan includes an event website, an embeddable schedule, and mobile access through Sched apps. Reserve and Native add session reservations, capacities, and waitlists; Eventbrite attendee sync is listed, with ticket-based rules on those two plans. Organizers can link to or embed video from Zoom, YouTube, Webex, and Google Meet. Native adds event-branded iOS and Android apps with offline support, though publishing requires Apple and Google developer accounts. Plans include email, chat, and phone support. Engage costs $500 once and includes 500 attendees; Reserve costs $1,500 once and Native costs $2,500 once, each for 500 attendees. Events expecting more than 5,000 people are directed to request a same-day quote. Sched says it has helped events since 2008 and describes itself as SOC 2 certified and FERPA compliant, with SSL encryption across the platform.
