Event Templates

Learn how to create and manage event templates in Adobe Connect to standardize layouts, branding, and components across your events.

Event templates in Adobe Connect are preconfigured sets of layouts, branding elements, and functional components that simplify event creation. They allow organizers to quickly build and replicate consistent, professional-looking events without starting from scratch every time. By standardizing event structure and design, templates enhance efficiency, reduce setup time, and ensure brand consistency across all hosted events.

Benefits of using Event templates

Event templates help streamline the event management process while maintaining visual and functional consistency. Key benefits include:

• Consistency: Maintain a uniform layout, style, and structure across all events to reinforce your brand identity.
• Efficiency: Eliminate repetitive setup tasks by reusing template structures for recurring or similar event formats.
• Customization: Customize templates to match different types of events such as webinars, training sessions, product launches, or department-specific needs.
• Brand Alignment: Seamlessly integrate your organization’s logo, color schemes, and messaging into all event materials.

Parts of an event template

Adobe Connect uses AEM technology to design and layout Event templates and the Event Catalog. The designed templates can be shared, and access control governs their usage. Adobe Connect also offers AEM components customized for Adobe Connect users and administrators. These AEM components can be dragged onto the template area and configured to quickly design and layout templates.

Customize the event template

After creating or selecting an event template, you can modify its components to match your event’s branding and informational needs.

To begin customization:

• Open the template you want to modify.
• Select Edit to enter the customization interface.

From here, you can adjust various elements such as banners, event information, speaker details, and registration forms. Each component can be configured individually, allowing you to define visual styles such as font and image properties, add links, and control layout behavior. This ensures that every template reflects your organization's visual identity and effectively communicates event details.

Once you're in the editing interface, you can configure various elements of the template to align with your branding and event goals. Below are the key components you can customize:
