Learn how to add your branding to customise your event on Arena.
Branding helps your customers to remember your brand and what it stands for. So, branding your virtual or hybrid event is crucial for maintaining consistency across all your channels.
Luckily, adding your branding to your event on Arena couldn’t be more straightforward.
How to add a theme
You can either add a custom theme when you first set up your event, or you can add it later by heading to your event’s ‘Edit Event’ page. To get there, just click on ‘Edit Event’ beneath the event in question on your central dashboard.
Either way, you’ll see a form asking you to fill out all the nitty-gritty details of your event. As part of this, there’ll be a heading that says ‘Theme.’
Simply click ‘Select your theme’ to open up a dropdown menu. Here, you can choose an existing theme (if you’ve added a theme previously) or select ‘Create a New Theme.’
When you click ‘Create a New Theme,’ we’ll ask you to fill out the following details:

Once you’ve selected all your choices, simply click the green ‘Save Theme’ button at the bottom of the page. Voila! You’ve created a custom theme.
Your theme will be saved so that you can easily reselect it for future events. However, you can also create a new theme at any time by heading back to your event’s ‘Edit Event’ page and selecting the ‘Create a new theme’ option again.
Now that you’ve added a custom theme to your event, learn how you can customise it further by adding custom fields to the attendee registration form or using Ticket Types to tailor the attendee experience. Enjoy!
