Barcamp and Unconference Session Planning Made Simple

Key Features for Barcamp Organizers

• Real-time Collaboration

  See session updates instantly via WebSocket. All participants view the same schedule in real time, staying synchronized during your barcamp or unconference.

• Drag-and-Drop Scheduling

  Organize sessions across rooms and time slots with intuitive drag-and-drop. Built for the dynamic nature of open space events.

• Session Submission Portal

  Let participants propose sessions directly through a simple, accessible form. Collect session titles, presenter names, and descriptions.

• Public Display Mode

  Show your session grid on large screens at the venue. Auto-scrolling display mode keeps everyone informed about what is happening and where.

• Multi-Day Event Support

  Plan barcamps and unconferences spanning multiple days. Each day has its own schedule while keeping a cohesive event experience.

• Custom Theming

  Match your event's branding with customizable colors, logos, and styling. Create a consistent visual identity across your barcamp.

• Session Image Upload

  Snap a photo of the sticky note or card used during the session pitch and attach it directly to the digital session card. Admins upload images from their phone, and participants see them as a header image when tapping on a session. Bridge the gap between the analog pitching wall and the digital schedule.

• Personal Favourites

  Participants can mark sessions as their favourite or as an alternative, building a personal schedule for the day. Tap the heart or bookmark icon on any session to keep track of what you want to attend, and switch to 'My Schedule' view to see only your picks at a glance.
