How SessionLab optimizes your workshop design process
Simple, powerful agenda planning
SessionLab makes it easy to go from a stakeholder brief to a structured, perfectly-timed workshop.
Drag, drop and reorder blocks to smoothly and intuitively design your workshop agenda. Flexibly adjust your design and iterate with ease. No more endlessly reformatting Word documents.
Create a consistent design process
SessionLab makes it easy to standardize your agenda design process and create a simple, repeatable process that all facilitators can follow.
Effectively share best practices with a centralized knowledge base. Keep all of your agendas organized and in one place. Ensure high standards and consistency for every workshop your team runs.
Collaborate with stakeholders in one place
Ready for feedback? Invite stakeholders to co-create your session and leave feedback, async or in real-time.
Assign colleagues to specific blocks and streamline your workflow by collaborating in one place. Add comments, notes and checklists to stay aligned and organized. No more sending emails back and forth.
I often feel stuck and annoyed in frames of Excel, Word, mindmaps… SessionLab helps me focus on the creation process and keep organized. It makes it easy to have a clear overview and get further input from co-creators and team members.
