• Display sponsor(s) information

• Links to resources

• Create a schedule or agenda page

• Add terms and conditions

• Showcase speakers or performers

• Create a photo gallery or add video(s)

Step 1: Access Pages Management

From your event dashboard, navigate to Site Builder→ Pages in the main menu.

Step 2: Click 'New Page'

Click the '+ New Page' button to start creating your page.

Step 3: Set Page Properties

Configure the basic settings for your page:
