Build your workshop agenda – visual, flexible, free

Spreadsheets and sticky notes get the job done – until you need to move something. Sessionplan gives you a proper visual workspace for session design:

• Visual timeline: See your entire workshop at a glance on an interactive schedule
• Drag & drop: Reorder blocks instantly – start times update automatically
• No sign-up required: Open the tool, start planning. Your data lives in your browser.
• Share via link: Send your complete agenda as a single shareable URL

Flexible block types

Use the built-in categories or create your own to match your facilitation style:

• Input & Presentation – Knowledge transfer and expert input
• Exercises & Activities – Hands-on learning and practice
• Discussion – Structured conversation and reflection
• Breaks – Rest, coffee, transition time
• Energisers – Re-engage the room between heavy sessions

Groups & Breakout Sessions

• Groups – Collapse related blocks into named phases for a cleaner view
• Breakout sessions – Plan parallel tracks for different groups simultaneously

Auto-calculated timing

• Live clock – Set a start time and Sessionplan shows exactly when every block begins and ends. Total duration updates as you edit.

Live Mode

• Run your session – Activate Live Mode during your workshop. A slim bar shows the current block, time remaining, and what's coming next – so you can focus on the room, not the clock.

Block library & templates

• Library – Save favourite blocks and reuse them across sessions
• Templates – Store recurring formats and spin up new agendas in seconds

Export & sharing

• Share link – Encode your entire agenda in a single URL. No file attachments.
• JSON export/import – Back up your work or transfer it to another device
