Hundreds of timetablers globally weighed in with their opinions, challenges, and focal areas in their everyday operations such as "What factors in scheduling affect student centricity?" and "Is the biggest constraint in scheduling lack of space or disconnected data flow?" You might have contributed yourself, even.
With its size and breadth, this was highly likely the biggest survey ever conducted within the timetabling world. We dissected and discussed the results of this survey together with a group of industry experts, talking through some of the most interesting results. This panel is highly interesting for anyone working in a role related to strategic planning, timetabling, or student administration. The panel was broadcasted from a recording studio, and attendees had a chance to interact, ask questions of the panel, and contribute to the event.
