How important is event presentation?
Very. Until your attendees actually arrive, the only information they have to go on - aside from word of mouth - is the information you provide. Presentation is key, but not all themes are suitable for every kind of event. That’s why we’ve put together a showcase of the best 'standards' in each category.
All of these are responsive, mobile-ready designs that work well with the Ticket Tailor WordPress plugin
