When editing an event in Agend AMS, your goal is not only to publish the event but to market it effectively to your members and prospective attendees. Below is a quickstart guide to help you edit and optimise your event listings for publication.
Where to Start #
- Navigate to the Events section from the WordPress Dashboard.
- Choose the event you’d like to edit or create a new one.
- You can edit the event page using either:
- The default editor, or
- The Elementor editor for more flexible layouts and design control.
Pages such as conference programs, session overviews, or day-by-day agendas are best created using the Conference Builder tool, which uses standard content controls and structured templates.
What to Include in Your Event Page #
Use the main event page to persuasively communicate the value of your event. Focus on engaging your audience, not just informing them.
Key Content Elements: #
- Event Overview & Purpose
Provide background context: Why is this event important to your members or the profession? - Learning Outcomes or Takeaways
List what attendees will gain from participating (e.g., skills, CPD hours, networking opportunities). - Highlight Presenters, Facilitators or Key Guests
If there’s a drawcard speaker or panel, mention them here to attract attention. - Strong Call-to-Action (CTA)
Invite users clearly to register or buy a ticket. Use action words like “Book Your Spot”, “Join the Conversation”, or “Register Now”.
💡 Remember: The goal of the first page is to spark interest. You don’t have to put all the content here—create additional pages or links for the full program, speaker bios, or sponsor details.
Add Visual Appeal #
- Event Banner Image: Upload a compelling visual that represents the theme or energy of your event.
- Scroll to the bottom right corner of the editor.
- Click “Set featured image” to upload or select your event banner.
- Photos or Icons: Use engaging visuals to break up long blocks of text and emphasise key messages.
Extend Your Event Content #
Use the same page (or linked subpages) to provide:
- Speaker & Moderator details
Add bios, photos, and links to professional profiles. - Sponsor & Partner Acknowledgement
Logos and links to highlight their support. - Location Information
Whether it’s a venue or a Zoom link, ensure it’s clearly displayed. - Sub-pages
Create additional pages for:- Conference program
- Workshop descriptions
- Accommodation or travel information
