A practical planning example

A venue brief lists session titles but omits speaker availability, setup time and room capacity. The programme looks complete until those constraints are added.

Set up this workflow

  1. Gather confirmed sessions, durations, speakers, groups and room requirements.
  2. Separate fixed commitments from activities that may move.
  3. Include setup, breaks and movement windows before generating a draft.

Prepare, review and publish

Choose your dates, timezone, open days and breaks. Set person and resource profiles before entering activities. Generate a candidate draft, inspect unplaced work and conflicts, and compare alternatives where useful. Keep manual review in the process: a quality score helps compare candidates and is not a guarantee of an optimal schedule.

What to check before rollout

Have a person responsible for the event approve the brief. Use the schedule to coordinate activities, with ticketing and attendee communications handled through your chosen services.

Account access and outputs

Public demos use sample data. Creating workspaces and entering your own scheduling details require a verified email and active paid subscription. A verified email and active subscription are required for paid generation, publication and timetable exports. Paid access covers all five workspaces within your account scope. Use the live billing page for current pricing and available payment methods. Check exported PDF, Excel, Word or CSV files with the software your team uses before distribution.
