Program Planner DOCS & HELP

Overview & How it works

Convention Schedule & Program Planner is the complete, professional WordPress solution for events, festivals, congresses, and exhibitions.

Core Philosophy

Maintain your schedule in one single place. Render it everywhere. When a session time changes, it automatically updates on the website, interactive timetable, live ticker, and room signage across the venue simultaneously!
