Workshop Group Generator
Create workshop groups in seconds. Start simple, then add rounds, balancing, or pairing rules as your facilitation plan gets more complex.
Made for workshops where group composition affects discussion quality, energy, and how often participants meet new people.
Try the full group optimizer.
Works for classrooms, workshops, and events

Classroom groups
Teachers paste a student roster and create balanced groups in seconds. No learning curve.
Workshop breakout rooms

Need more control?
GroupMixer is more than a random shuffler. When simple groups aren't enough, unlock advanced rules without switching tools.
Keep certain people together
Ensure friends, co-workers, or pre-assigned pairs always land in the same group.
Keep certain people apart
Prevent specific people from being grouped together — useful for conflict avoidance or diversity.
Avoid repeat pairings
Run multiple rounds where the same two people don't end up together again.
Balance groups by attribute
Use CSV input to balance groups by role, skill level, gender, department, or any custom column.
The expert workspace gives you full control over sessions, constraints, solver settings, and detailed result analysis.
