About Sched
What does Sched do?
Sched is a comprehensive event management platform that replaces spreadsheets and email threads. It helps teams plan, launch, and run conferences, professional development days, and complex events—from registration and scheduling to speaker coordination, mobile apps, and attendee engagement. With Sched, you can build your agenda, manage sessions, and track attendance in one place.
Who is Sched for?
Sched is designed for event planners, conference organizers, and professional development teams, especially in K-12 education, associations, and corporate settings. It's ideal for events with multiple sessions and attendees, where manual coordination becomes overwhelming. It's not ideal for very small, informal gatherings like a team offsite.
Real use cases
Use Sched for district-wide professional development days, annual conferences, summer institutes, and Superintendent days. It streamlines session planning, attendee check-in, and feedback collection. Event directors report that teachers easily find their sessions and organizers no longer drown in spreadsheets. The platform supports unlimited events and offers a free trial, so you can test it with your next event.

- Attendee engagement tools — Networking, attendance tracking, and customizable badges (with Boost plan).
- Advanced registration controls — Conditional logic and session capacity management (with Boost plan).
