EventBlok vs Sessionize

EventBlok helps you take an event from first idea to live delivery. Create the sessions, organise speakers and spaces, run the show, and publish an agenda attendees can use. Call for papers, speaker submissions, review and scheduling — the process that produces a programme. EventBlok is built around the programme and the show. Here is where each one fits, written to help you choose rather than to win an argument.

THE CATEGORY

What Sessionize is for.

Call for papers, speaker submissions, review and scheduling — the process that produces a programme.

STRENGTHS

Where Sessionize is strong.

  • The best-understood call for papers workflow in the community conference world.
  • Speaker submission, review and selection handled properly.
  • Embeddable schedule and speaker lists.
  • Fair pricing and a clear scope it sticks to.
SCOPE

Where its scope ends.

Not criticism — scope. These are the things it was not built to do, which matter only if you need them.

  • It ends where delivery begins: no cue list, departments, prompter or live changes.
  • Locations are light — it is not modelling a venue estate.
  • Built around the programme-building process rather than the show.
EVENTBLOK

What EventBlok does differently.

  • EventBlok picks up after selection: rooms, production detail, scripts and the live run.
  • Speaker records carry preparation material and session context through to the stage.
  • The programme becomes the running order rather than being handed over as one.
CHOOSING

Which to choose.

Sessionize

  • Pick Sessionize if your hard problem is collecting and choosing talks.

EventBlok

  • Pick EventBlok — often alongside it — for everything between the selection and the last cue.
