What is a Carousel?
A carousel is a layout component available within the ON24 Platform that enables marketers to include multiple slides or images in a single rotating section of a webpage. Carousels are most commonly used on webinar registration or event landing pages to present several pieces of related content without overwhelming the viewer.
Each slide in the carousel can highlight different aspects of the webinar — such as key speakers, agenda items, or featured sessions. The rotating or clickable interface allows registrants to view additional details without navigating away from the page. This helps maintain attention, improve dwell time, and enhance the overall registration experience.
Why it matters
- Drives audience engagement: Encourages visitors to explore multiple pieces of content from one place.
- Optimizes page space: Allows B2B marketers to share more information within a compact layout.
- Enhances conversion potential: Keeps users on the page longer, increasing the likelihood of form completions.
- Supports brand consistency: Provides flexible options for adding images, logos, and CTAs in an on-brand visual style.
How it’s used
- Feature upcoming webinars or related events on a single registration page using rotating slides.
- Include dynamic visuals like speaker photos, company logos, or event snapshots.
- Add CTAs (calls-to-action) on each or selected slides to prompt further engagement — such as “Register Now” or “Learn More.”
- Set slides to rotate automatically or allow users to manually navigate through them.
- Use carousels on additional website sections to display case studies, testimonials, or “how-to” visual guides.
- Combine the carousel layout with other webinar capabilities for a cohesive event promotion strategy.
