Themes are customizable layouts that control the appearance of public-facing pages and emails. Made from HTML, CSS, and media assets, themes act as wrappers that standardize branding across the registration site, call for papers, exhibitor pages, and emails. Every email template or landing page can have its own theme applied. Themes are built using a WYSIWYG Editor for layout and an HTML/CSS editor for advanced styling.
Access the Themes management page
To begin designing or managing your event's appearance, follow these steps to reach the configuration area:
Go to the Event Setup menu.
Click on Content.
Click on Themes.
From this central page, you can:
Add a new Theme
Edit an existing Theme
Duplicate a Theme for reuse
Delete a Theme
How do I add a Theme?
Building a custom theme allows you to define the header, footer, and overall styling for your event communications.
Click the Add Icon located in the Themes header.
Enter a Theme Name to serve as a unique label.
Check the box for Default Theme if you want this layout to be automatically applied to all new email templates.
Configure the CSS & JavaScript section:
Click the Add Icon.
Choose the desired CSS or JS files from the dropdown menu (these must be uploaded to your event library first).
Click Add.
Design the Theme layout:
Use the WYSIWYG Toolbar to add text, images, or formatting.
Use the Theme Fields menu to insert dynamic properties.
Required Step: You must insert the {ThemeBody} tag into your HTML. This tag acts as a placeholder where the main content of your registration pages or emails will render.
Click Save.
💡 Tip: For complex styling, use your browser's developer tools to preview the layout and identify specific CSS classes you wish to override within the editor.
How do I edit a Theme?
Find the theme you wish to modify and click the Edit Icon.
Update the name, styling, or content within the Edit Theme screen.
Click Save to apply the changes to all pages and emails currently using this theme.
How do I duplicate a Theme?
Click the Duplicate Icon next to the theme you want to copy
Make changes as needed in the Edit Theme screen
Click Save
How do I delete a Theme?
Click the Delete Icon next to the theme name
Confirm deletion in the dialog box
Deleting a theme does not affect any content that already uses it, but you may want to reassign a default theme first.
Conclusion
Themes give you full control over the look and feel of your event communications and registration pages. By using the theme editor and inserting dynamic fields like {ThemeBody}, you can ensure every template reflects your brand consistently. Leverage themes to elevate the attendee experience and maintain visual cohesion across your event site.
