Tagesordnung vs Programm

program

'das Programm' and 'die Tagesordnung' can both describe a planned sequence. 'das Programm' fits well with events, courses, celebrations, or broadcasts and often means what happens one after another. 'die Tagesordnung' is used mainly for meetings, sessions, or conferences. It lists the topics that are to be discussed. The words can be confused because both bring order to a sequence of events. In a meeting, 'Tagesordnung' sounds more precise; at an event, 'Programm' sounds more natural.

Visual example for Programm
Tagesordnung

Wir haben die Tagesordnung geändert, weil ein wichtiges Thema dazugekommen ist.
