Sched

Active

Overview

Sched is a United States-based event content management and event-management software company founded in 2008. Its platform organizes event schedules and related content such as sessions, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, and attendee profiles across web and mobile interfaces.

The company serves conferences, professional-development programs, nonprofits, educational organizations, and other virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. Its market position is centered on relatively standardized, self-service event software with tiered and custom plans, while enterprise offerings add implementation assistance, account management, and optional on-premise setup and hosting.

History

Sched was founded in 2008 and developed as a web-based platform for publishing and managing event schedules. It later expanded from schedule publishing into broader event management, including attendee registration, speaker and sponsor information, session capacity controls, check-in, messaging, and native mobile apps. The company remains focused on virtual, hybrid, and in-person events; no acquisition or ownership change is established by the available company materials.

Reputation

Sched is generally positioned as an accessible alternative to more expensive event-management suites, with transparent package pricing, a free trial, and support for small events.

Criticisms are less clearly documented in the available sources, although enterprise requirements may require custom pricing and an implementation process rather than a fully self-service purchase.
