The Challenge

- ✕Coordinating multi-day events across distributed teams and different time zones
- ✕Low attendance because event dates conflict with vacations, holidays, or business cycles
- ✕Managing multiple tracks or sessions within a multi-day event
- ✕Budget waste when venues and speakers are booked before checking participant availability

Get Started in 3 Steps
Create multi-day event poll
Propose 4-6 potential date ranges for your multi-day event (e.g., March 15-17, March 22-24, April 5-7). Consider typical vacation periods and business cycles.
Participants vote on date ranges
Share the poll with potential attendees, speakers, and stakeholders. They can see their calendar overlay and vote on entire date ranges they can attend.
Finalize and book
Review voting results to see which date range works for the most participants. Finalize the event dates, add to calendars, and proceed with venue and speaker bookings.
Best Practices for Multi-Day Event Scheduling
- ✓Start polling for multi-day events 4-6 months in advance to accommodate participant schedules and secure good rates
- ✓Propose date ranges that avoid major holidays, school breaks, and industry-specific busy seasons
- ✓Set a clear response deadline (e.g., 2-3 weeks) to ensure you can finalize dates and book venues in time
- ✓Enable calendar overlay so participants can see their PTO, family commitments, and work deadlines when voting
- ✓For international events, consider travel time and jet lag when proposing dates—avoid starting Monday morning or ending Friday evening
- ✓Communicate the event purpose and expected time commitment when polling to help participants evaluate availability
- ✓For annual events, consider establishing consistent timing (e.g., always third week of September) to build habits
