If you're a power scheduler in the office, like the administrative assistant or team lead, you often have to organize events you don't plan on attending. The Robin event composer makes it easy to juggle scheduling responsibilities with the delegate booking tool. Follow this guide to learn how to book an event for someone using the Robin event composer.
