Design

  1. Don’t need to show the event time? Use the Time toggle to show or hide this detail, allowing you to simplify the design when the date alone is enough or highlight time-specific events when needed.

  2. Slide Title Style - Choose from two distinct title styles to suit your design needs. One style features the title in the top right corner for a clean, subtle look, while the second option adds a bold bar across the top header, giving your title extra prominence and making it stand out. Pick the style that best compliments your brand and overall visual design.

Use-Case Scenario

Quote

Coordinating Headquarters Visit 

When senior leaders from the main headquarters fly into Manila, the HR team needs a clear way to align staff around the multi‑day agenda. Each day of the visit carries a distinct focus—executive town halls, leadership trainings, policy briefings, and employee engagement activities—and it’s critical that employees across offices, warehouses, and break rooms know what’s happening and when.

Using the Events Hero 3 slide, HR publishes a rotating schedule that highlights the key events tied to the visit.

The slide appears consistently across digital signage ensuring visibility without overwhelming inboxes. This keeps the Manila team informed, energized, and prepared for each milestone of the headquarters visit.

FAQ

What’s the ideal number of events to feature in the hero
You should feature at least 4 events in the hero. Four events fit cleanly on a slide and keep the hero visually strong. The slide template can handle up to 10 events entries—the extra events will rotate in as part of the slide’s animation, so you can add more without crowding the view.
Can I change the hero image per event?
Yes; use a different hero image for each major event to emphasize importance.
Can I change the design of the title
Yes, you can change the style of the Title. Just go to Elements Tab and select the Style.
  • For the circular header look, choose Style 1 (circle style).
  • For the modern, horizontal header, choose Style 2 (horizontal header style).
