Program, CRM & marketing
Guidebook — events & platform
Guidebook is a mobile event app platform with drag-and-drop CMS for associations, universities, and mid-market conferences. Sessionboard holds call for papers, committee review, speaker portal, and agenda truth — reducing spreadsheet exports into Guidebook builds when program teams change sessions or speakers.
Match your role to the job Sessionboard solves — program ops, content reuse, or marketing attribution.
Guidebook agenda built from exports — Sessionboard should publish authoritative session data.
Speaker changes after Guidebook publish — originate updates in Sessionboard first.
App is separate from abstract workflow — unify faculty CRM before attendee-facing publish.
App engagement without faculty Advocacy — Sessionboard adds tracked promotion from acceptance.
“Sessionboard has been one of our most successful investments this year, making our team more efficient and allowing us to focus on the most critical components of our events.”
“Sessionboard saves significant planning time and makes it easier than ever for speakers and sponsors to participate in our clients' events.”
“We used Sessionboard daily. It served as our source of truth for tracking speakers, sending emails, and accessing reports. The ability to set a weekly digest email was a huge time saver.”
“Honestly, I loved it! Getting everything out of the spreadsheet. It collects all the information and gives you a visual of who you might want to invite.”

Sessionboard connects to the assistants your team already uses through MCP (Model Context Protocol). Sessions, speakers, and agenda data stay in Sessionboard — Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot read it live.
Sign in with OAuth — no API keys to copy. Ask about session status, speaker readiness, committee progress, or agenda gaps in plain English.
Registration and capture tools stay in place. Sessionboard holds the program graph — sync transcripts and media back when you run another vendor beside us.

Sessionboard already includes transcription, attendee experiences, and content marketing. A separate subscription makes sense only in narrow cases.
How Sessionboard works beside Guidebook.
Guidebook — Sessionboard feeds program data; it is not a mobile app replacement.
No — coexist. Sessionboard replaces upstream spreadsheet program ops.
Yes — full CFP and committee workflow in Sessionboard before Guidebook publish.
Same pattern — even mid-size meetings benefit from one faculty CRM across years.
Whova is compare/displacement; Guidebook is coexist — Sessionboard is program layer for both patterns.
Talk through your event workflow — abstracts, speakers, content, and marketing on one program graph.
