Need recs for a scheduling app for sxsw

Software/Technology

Hi!

I’m coordinating a specialized venue at sxsw and I need an app or a tool that will help.

  • I need multiple people (25 or so) to be able to see and schedule 2 resources (rooms) for appointments.
  • I need to be able to send the entire group notifications about special things that are happening either in the house or at our other venue.
  • Needs to work on mobile devices obv.
  • Free or under $50 for 1 week of use.

Thanks!

I was just looking at tools for meeting room scheduling, although for a different use case. Try youcanbook.me or acuity scheduling.com

Group messaging: there’s a mobile app called GroupMe and there’s Gather by MailChimp that uses SMS (https://gather.mailchimpapp.com)

Hope to see you at SXSW.

Hey everyone – a friend at Office Nomads where I work in Seattle linked me to this (I started at Acuity Scheduling just this week!) For scheduling it sounds like we’re a good fit. The two resources would be set up as different calendars which does require a premium account. We’d also recommend MailChimp Gather for group messaging.

Let me know if you’d like any help getting set up, [email protected]

And thanks for the shout, Glen!

I was able to set up and link youcanbook.me with a new google calendar in just a few minutes. It’s perfect for our use! Thanks again Glen. Still working on the group message thing but it’s really more of a group bat phone in case Willy Nelson shows up!!
