Conference agenda template

A conference agenda is the one-page program for the day: each session's time, title, speaker and room. This template runs as a single track or with parallel rooms side by side, groups the day into morning and afternoon, and gives attendees one link to check what's on next. Set the date and change the sessions.

Tips for a clear agenda

Make it yours

  • One line per session: time | title | room | speaker.
  • "# Morning" starts a section.
  • With one room, each section gets its own color.
  • With several rooms, each room is a column.

Questions

How do I make a conference agenda?

Write one line per session: time | title | room | speaker, and add "# Morning" style headings. The agenda lays itself out, with rooms side by side.

Can I show parallel sessions?

Yes. Give sessions different rooms and each room becomes a column; sessions with no room (lunch, breaks) span them all.

Can attendees see what's on now?

Yes. On the day, a live view shows a Now line and greys out what's finished.

Can I print it?

Yes. A one-room agenda prints in portrait; with several rooms it prints landscape.
