Team offsite scheduling poll

Find the days most of the team can do.

A scheduling poll for a team offsite: everyone marks the days they could do across the weeks you're considering, and the best days rise to the top. Each one names whoever can't make it, so you can pick two side by side.

How to set it up

  1. Pick the datesChoose the run of days you're considering, up to 31 of them, and keep the hours 9:00 to 5:00 so a whole day reads as one block.
  2. Send it to the teamNobody needs an account. Ask people to mark only days they could do in full.
  3. Find two in a rowThe best times are single days. For a two-day offsite, look for two side by side near the top.
  4. Lock it inLock in the first day on your private link, and everyone with an email gets it with a calendar file. Tell people about the second day in the same breath.

What helps

  • Check the venue's availability first, and only offer days it's free.
  • Ask people who'd travel to say so in their note, so you can plan around flights.
  • Hourly blocks from 9 to 5 make a whole day eight boxes in a row. On a phone, press and hold the first and slide down to fill the day.
  • Set a closing date so you can book before the venue goes.

Something to send with the link

Copy it into a text, an email or the group chat, change what you like, and paste your link at the end.

Questions people ask

Can it find two days in a row?
The best times are within a day, so it ranks single days. Two good days side by side near the top of the list is your answer.
How far ahead can I ask about?
Up to 31 dates in one poll. For a wider window, make two polls, or choose the likeliest weeks.
What happens when I lock in a day?
The poll closes, the day goes at the top of the page, and everyone who left an email gets it with a calendar file.
