How To Create and Share Event Schedules in PDF Format

by Stéphane Turquay

Planning an event? A detailed and accessible event schedule is key to keeping things organized and ensuring your attendees have a smooth experience.

At Smallpdf, we’ve got the tools to help you create event schedules in PDF format quickly and effortlessly.

Here’s how to create and share the perfect event schedule using Smallpdf.

Step 1: Create Your Event Schedule

Start with a draft. Use Microsoft Word or Excel to organize your event details, including timings, session titles, speaker names, and locations. For example:

This simple layout ensures nothing gets missed and everything is easy to read.

Once you’re happy with your schedule, you’ll need to convert it into a PDF to maintain its formatting across all devices.

Step 2: Convert Your File to PDF

Using Smallpdf’s Word to PDF or Excel to PDF converter, you can seamlessly turn your draft into an organized PDF file. Here’s how: 1. Visit the Word to PDF. 2. Click “Choose File” to upload your saved schedule. 3. Wait for the file to convert (it only takes seconds). 4. Download your new PDF file to your device.

Converting your schedule into a PDF ensures it looks professional and retains its layout, no matter which device your attendees use to view it.

This is great for when a speaker becomes unavailable or a session’s timing shifts!

Step 4: Combine Files with Merge PDF

If you have additional documents, like speaker profiles or venue maps, you can merge them into one cohesive file using the Merge PDF: 1. Access the Merge PDF. 2. Upload all the files you want to combine. 3. Arrange the files in your preferred order using the drag-and-drop interface. 4. Click “Merge” and download the unified file.

Now, everything your attendees need is conveniently contained in a single document.

Step 5: Protect and Compress Your Schedule

If your schedule contains sensitive information, protect it with a password using the Protect PDF feature: 1. Visit the Protect PDF. 2. Upload your file and set a password. 3. Download your secured schedule.

For larger files, use the Compress PDF tool to reduce the size without sacrificing quality. This is perfect for email attachments: 1. Go to the Compress PDF. 2. Upload your file and wait for compression. 3. Download the smaller PDF for effortless sharing.

Step 6: Share Your Event Schedule

Finally, share your schedule with attendees, speakers, or collaborators. Smallpdf makes sharing simple.

Use the Smallpdf Mobile App or the desktop version to email or upload your document directly to cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox.

With these tools, attendees can access your event schedule PDF instantly, ensuring a smooth event experience.

Suggested Templates for Your Event Schedule

If you’re starting from scratch, a sample event program format PDF or an event schedule template PDF can save you time and effort.

Once you have your template, Smallpdf makes it easy to edit and finalize your schedule as needed.
