Creating a Conference Event

A closer look at all six steps of the conference wizard.

Step 1: Event Details

From the dashboard, click 'New Conference'. Name the conference (for example 'Fall 2026 Parent-Teacher Conferences'), choose the format — In-Person, Virtual, or Hybrid — add a location or meeting link and a description, and pick your date range.

Step 2: Select Teachers

Choose which teachers should have schedules for this conference. You can select everyone or pick specific teachers.

Step 3: Teacher Teams (Optional)

Group teachers into teams if some should share a single schedule with different slot lengths — for example, 20-minute slots for the principal and 7-minute slots for electives. Skip this step if every teacher just needs their own individual schedule.

Step 4: Schedule by Date

For each date (and each team, if you made any), set the start and end times and the slot length, then click 'Generate All Time Slots'. Add a break if you want a gap between appointments.

Tip: 15-minute slots with a short break give teachers a moment to breathe between families.

Step 5: Conference Settings

Configure registration options for this event — things like whether parents can cancel their own bookings and how many slots one family can book.

Step 6: Preview and Publish

Preview exactly what parents will see. When you're ready, click 'Publish Conference' to make it live. You'll get a unique URL to share with parents.

Tip: Building and previewing are free. Publishing requires an active subscription — your conference stays saved as a draft until you subscribe under Settings > Plans.
