No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    I like the plug-in. Pretty easy to build an event. Not much more to say.

    I am very disappointed with this app and the support. I have tried numerous times to contact via email and telephone with no response. I did not like the visual layout nor did it provide me with the options I needed for my event. I purchased the Pro version and asked for a refund the next day. I emailed twice regarding the refund and have had NO response on the refund 9 days later.

    I run an annual online conference and have struggled with how to present the schedule nicely. This plug in has been exactly what I needed. When I had a hard time with some formatting, I got quick and helpful customer service, which I really appreciated!

    I used the pro version of this plugin to schedule a Professional Development day for a school district. I tried out every free and inexpensive ticketing system out there, and nothing was working. I needed wait listing and a few other features, like offering choices during different time slots. I contacted Shane with some suggestions on how to tweak his product so that it would work for this type of event, and he implemented my suggestions. The only products that do the same type of things as this plugin cost a fortune. Most charge a monthly fee, and would only work for large venues with huge budgets and frequent repeating events. I can’t remember exactly which features are only available on the pro version, but I would absolutely recommend the upgrade if you need those features. The support is spectacular and the plugin works like a charm. I would especially recommend this plugin if you are organizing a conference for a school or district. I would also recommend disabling the stars, because people don’t read and they confused a lot of people who thought that clicking on the stars registered them in the sessions. Update: another successful conference and every year this plugin gains useful features. I would give it 6 stars if I could. This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by jacob.cowan.

    The conference scheduler is an excellent plugin for any WordPress site that wishes to set up a conference schedule. The plugin is very intuitive to use for both the end user and the webmaster. There are many options for setting up themes or tracks, keywords, and more. You can set up nested sessions and workshops inside the sessions with the workshops tagged with keywords and/or themes. This makes it easy for the website viewer to search for the sessions that they are interested in. The user can also create a personalized schedule by clicking on the stars of the workshops that they wish to attend. The “show my picks” filter then shows only the workshops that the user has selected, making the perfect personalized schedule for the web viewer. Additionally, a single click on the workshop box expands the description of the workshop. The conference scheduler plugin is a very well designed plugin that installs as well as configures easily.
