Edit Venues
To manage your venues, go to Schedule => Venues. You'll see a list of all venues, including how many sessions are scheduled in each.
To edit a venue:
-
Click edit to the venue you want to update and click “Edit.”
-
In the Edit tab, update the name and address fields as needed.
-
Click “Save Venue.” Please make sure to enter the full Google Maps address so that it pops up correctly and attendees can see the location when viewing the session on the map.
The Venue section shows all sessions assigned to that venue. Any updates you make to the venue name or address will automatically apply to all sessions using it.
Add Venues
You can add venues in multiple ways in Sched:
-
From the Venue Section
Go to Schedule => Venues. Click the Add button and enter the name and address to add venues one-by-one before adding sessions.
-
While Manually Editing a Session
When adding or editing a session manually, you can also type in a new venue name. It will be added to your venue list automatically.
-
Via Spreadsheet Upload (Bulk Import)
If you're using a spreadsheet to import sessions in bulk, you can include a Venue column. Any new venue names listed in your spreadsheet will be added to your venue list during the upload.
Once venues are added, attendees can filter by venue name on the event page to see all other sessions scheduled at the same location.
Find A Room
The Find A Room capability enables the event organizers and session planning team to conveniently locate available venues and rooms for their sessions. Here are the capabilities of this feature:
-
Available Venues / Free Rooms List
-
The Available Venues/Free Rooms List displays venues and rooms for the designated day. You can search for specific days, times, and date ranges, and it will present the rooms and venues available on the selected dates.
-
To create a new session from the ‘Free Venue’ tab, navigate to the ‘Free Venue’ tab, hover over the desired venue, and click the ‘Add Session’ option on the right.
-
Note: The venue is available for the entire day rather than a specific time. An ‘available venue’ will only appear on the ‘Free Venue’ tab if no session is assigned. Having a session attached to the venue, even for just an hour, will not be listed on the said tab. 
2. “Free” Label For Venues In Session Scheduling
The feature displays available venues for the whole day and highlights rooms or venues with specific time availability and capacity when scheduling sessions. If you are creating a session or changing the venue, you have the ability to check which venue is not yet occupied by another session, and it will be labeled as FREE if available.
Signage
Printed venue signs are great for posting outside each door or as a reference for your production team.
-
Go to Reports Tab.
-
In the “Print-Ready” section, click “Venue Signs.”
-
Click “Print” to print the venue schedules for all days of your event, or select a specific day in the drop-down menu. Each venue and day will be printed on a new page.
