Text-2-ICS for Event Organizers and Conference Teams

Every event runs on a document. The agenda, the run sheet, the session schedule — whichever format your team uses, the source of truth is a PDF or a shared doc. The calendar your team, speakers, and attendees actually need is built manually from that document.

For Event organizers and conference teams

The agenda is done. It's a PDF, or a shared doc, or a speaker tracker in Airtable. The calendar version — the one your team, your speakers, and your attendees actually need — still has to be built from it by hand.

The scale of the problem

A full conference schedule isn't ten events. It's a hundred — multiple tracks, parallel sessions, speaker slots, registration windows, AV checks, catering windows. Each one needs to exist as a calendar entry with the right time, room, and title.

Build that manually and it takes most of a day. Change the schedule — and it always changes — and you're back in, hunting for the affected entries. Do it for three different audiences (attendees, speakers, ops team) and you're doing it three times.

How Text-2-ICS fits in

For programs and agendas that exist as PDFs, PDF to ICS reads the document and extracts the sessions from it. Upload the program, review the events, download the ICS file. When the schedule changes, upload the new version and regenerate in seconds.

For session data that lives in a spreadsheet — a speaker tracker, an Airtable or Google Sheets timeline — CSV to ICS converts the whole schedule in one step and lets you generate separate files for different groups.

Use the ICS Viewer to validate any generated file before distributing it to attendees or speakers.
