Schedule¶

The Schedule module takes you from a call for papers to a published public schedule with digital signage.

For panelists / submitters¶

Submitting a panel or event¶

Open the schedule submission page for your event.
Complete the submission form (title/name, description, category/tracks, and any fields the organizers added).
Submit. Organizers review submissions and either place them on the schedule or respond with questions.

Note

If the form cannot find a category, you will see E:SCH:1 (see Error e-sch-1). That is a configuration gap on the organizer side — let them know.

During the event¶

Use my events to see the panels you are on, and panel check-in to check in before your session. The public schedule (and digital signage screens around the venue) show your session’s time and room.

For event organizers¶

Prerequisites¶

Mandatory	None.
Optional	KioskOS — for kiosk-based signage and terminals.

No third-party integrations are required to use Schedule.

Calls for papers & categories¶

Create categories, tracks, and rooms first, then open a submission form attached to a category. Panelists submit against a category; you then review and place them.

Scheduling¶

Midsummer offers several ways to build the schedule:

the schedule editor (Kendo-based drag-and-drop grid),
a form-based editor,
a slot editor for fine placement,
import/export (Excel) for bulk changes.

You can configure wayfinding arrows and per-room layouts for the digital signage screens.

Digital signage & static pages¶

Display the public schedule on screens with the digital-signage component, and publish static Markdown pages for things like maps, policies, or guest announcements.

For event technical staff¶

Display screens and kiosks each have their own URL — open the correct one and leave it in kiosk/full-screen mode.
If a submitter sees E:SCH:1 (no category) or E:MID:404 (resource not found), it is configuration, not a bug — see the error reference.
