Upload a Banner or Logo for a Conference?


DEFAULT and TEMPLATE BANNER Image Dimensions
For the default, submission or attendee registration site banner we recommend a width of 1000 pixels x 200 to 300 pixels height, PNG format with a non-transparent background. 

EXHIBITOR MODULE TEMPLATE BANNER Image Dimensions
For the exhibitor module site banner we recommend a width of 1400 pixels x 200 pixels height, PNG format with a non-transparent background. 

For the Default banner, we suggest using a generic banner, as the default template is used for the Admin, main login screens, profile home and in other generic places. Do not include dates or specific reference to a conference if you have more than one event in the system.

If an uploaded banner image is not displaying

This issue is due to caching (i.e. you are view a 'stored' version of the page).

  • Clear your browser cache and load the page again.
  • Try viewing the page in an incognito or private browser screen.
  • If you still do not see the new image, check that the image was loaded into the template or reload the image again into the template.
