Event schedules should not be displayed only one way. Different events need different ways for attendees to explore what is happening. Grandstand apps include multiple schedule formats so organizers can match the experience to their event. One of the most powerful options is the Timetable view, which now includes new enhancements for readability and layout control.

The improved timetable supports smoother diagonal scanning across stages, flexible time axis layouts, and adjustable controls for headers, spacing, and time column width so each event can tune the schedule to its exact content mix.

Your detail pages just got a major style upgrade.
Detail pages are the screens your attendees see when they tap into a specific event, vendor, performer, speaker, or location. It’s where they read the description, see the photo, and decide what to do next.
You can now choose from four layout vibes for those pages: Editorial, Modern, Layered, and Immersive. Whether you want something clean and structured or bold and atmospheric, you now have more control over how your content feels inside the app.
Available in Gold and above for apps submitted after February 25, 2026.
