We had multiple apps doing the work. It was cumbersome for our staff and attendees alike. This year, we have unified all of our event management in Sched and it has been night and day.
Getting people to register for an event has always been a challenge, but it’s especially tough when the event is online. With no travel commitments and fewer costs, it’s just as easy for someone to sign up as it is for them to skip. That means driving registrations for virtual events takes more than just…
You can plan the perfect agenda, book the best speakers, and still fall short if you miss one critical step: gathering feedback. Feedback is how you measure whether your event worked, what resonated with attendees, and where improvements are needed. And it is one of the clearest ways to show return on investment. For 95%…
There’s a moment in every school event when things either click or come undone. The front doors open. Attendees start arriving. You’re busy double-checking room setups.

School events are some of the most rewarding moments of the year, but behind the scenes, they’re also some of the hardest to pull off. Without the right system, it’s easy for things to slip through.

And if anything goes off track, teachers feel it. Confusing check-ins, overcrowded rooms, and mismatched sessions can take the energy out of the day…
Planning events in 2025 takes grit and a lot of patience. Event planners are expected to deliver a smooth experience for every attendee while keeping hundreds of moving parts organized behind the scenes. A mobile event app makes those challenges easier to handle. It gives planners one place to manage schedules, check-ins, updates, and resources,…
Running school events takes more than putting dates on a calendar. Every year, school staff and administrators are responsible for professional development days, district-wide training, parent nights, student showcases, and so much more. The challenge is that too often, these events are pulled together with endless email threads and paper sign-in sheets. Details get missed,…
Most event planning software is built for one thing: helping you manage the event itself. But your job as an event organizer doesn’t end when the last session wraps up. Real magic happens after your event. Post-event engagement, analyzing data to make smarter decisions, and managing your calendar of future events are all just as…
