Build your own module in two stepsHow to choose a module layout
Modules are grouped into two categories: Rotators and grids.
Rotators scroll horizontally to show many items in a single row. They’re best for fitting a lot of content into a small vertical space. Grids show items in a grid pattern. They’re best for making sure items are always visible on the page.
Follow these suggestions to select a specific module based on your content:
To highlight featured content…
Featured rotators show any content in a large banner.
Billboard rotators show advertisements or other content in a skinny banner.
To list sessions…
Square rotators and Two-column grids show any specified sessions.
Search grids add a search bar and filter to a collection of sessions.
To list exhibitors, courses, or library content…
Square rotators, Two-column grids, and Multi-column grids show any specified content.
Search grids add a search bar and filter to a collection of content.
To list speakers…
Round rotators and Round grids show any specified speakers.
Round search grids add a search bar and filter to a collection of speakers
