How it works

Ninety seconds, and everyone knows where they are sitting.

This is the attendee side, working. Pick a round, read what each host is there to do, and reserve a seat. Walk in with a reason. Sit down with a purpose.

Pick a table in each round. You hold one seat per round, and you can move or release it any time before the event.

And on your side

The room runs itself once the seats are taken.

Every booking above would produce these automatically. Nobody assigns anyone by hand, and nothing has to be chased the morning of the event.
