Draft an agenda from a description

If you know the shape of your event but haven't written the program yet, you don't have to type sessions one at a time. Describe the days, rooms, and parallel blocks, and Readyhall drafts a skeleton agenda for you to review.

1. Open Agenda ingest

Create the event first — the generator reads its dates. Then open Agenda ingest from the event's Organize menu (or Import program on the Overview tab) and choose the Describe it tab.

2. Describe the shape of the day

The form asks for structure, not prose:

• Day start and Day end — the window each day is filled.
• Include a lunch window, plus Lunch start / Lunch end.
• Breaks — add up to two, each with a start and end.
• Rooms (one name per line), or just a count of rooms.
• Parallel sessions per slot — how many things run at once.
• Session length (minutes) and Gap between sessions (minutes).
• Include a welcome block.
• Attendees pick one session per timeslot (breakout style).
• Anything else the draft should honor? (optional) — free text, for notes like keeping the first slot plenary.

Days is read-only: it lists the dates from your event, so change the event dates if the day count is wrong.

Choose Draft my agenda.

3. Review before anything is created

Nothing is written until you confirm. The review panel lists every drafted session with a tickbox, plus the assumptions the draft made — untick any row you don't want, then choose Confirm drafts.

What it drafts

• Timeslots across each day, from your day start to your day end, at the session length and gap you gave.
• Placeholder sessions — one per room in each slot, titled like "Session A1 — title TBC", on a Programme track.
• Lunch and Break sessions on a Breaks track, and an optional Welcome block.
• Rooms and tracks it referenced, if they don't exist yet.

It never invents speakers, and it never invents real session titles — placeholders say "title TBC" so you can see what still needs a name.

It's a skeleton, not a finished program

The draft is a starting point: the grid is right, the content isn't written. Expect to rename sessions, add speakers, and delete slots you don't need.

Other things worth knowing:

• Sessions are created as drafts and stay hidden from attendees until you publish the event, or use Publish draft sessions on the Program tab.
• The generator covers events up to 31 days, up to 40 rooms, and up to 40 parallel sessions per slot.
• Session length accepts 15–240 minutes; the gap accepts 0–60.
• It uses AI, so it counts against your plan's agenda-import allowance — the free plan includes one import per event.
• The breakout-style tickbox shapes the draft and is recorded as an assumption. It does not switch on the Pick-one breakouts feature; see Let attendees pick one session per block.
