HubSpot: Streamlined top per your call with Jess — no tall hero, no big collage graphic. This is a compact section: Logo module + two Button modules in the plum bar, then one short Rich Text module (eyebrow, “Register”, date/venue, availability) + a Button module on the coral→berry gradient row. Keeps people close to the tickets.
HubSpot: Slim sticky anchor bar (berry background) — a small custom menu / navigation module or a simple rich-text link row set to sticky. Mirrors the live site's anchor nav so people can jump without a tall header. Links are page anchors (#register, #included, #speakers, #faq).

Trusted by leading organizations

Sponsor logos: Texas Mutual, Dell Technologies, United Airlines, Liberty Mutual, Bank of America, Cisco, Fidelity, Target

Placeholder — final logos will match the existing site.

HubSpot — native: This is a logo band — build as a row of Image modules (or the theme's logo/partner-grid module) with equal sizing and a light grayscale on hover. In this prototype the names are shown as text placeholders; in HubSpot you'd drop in each sponsor's actual logo asset. Sponsor names pulled from the live 2026 regional page; Liberty Mutual is the presenting sponsor per the site header.

HubSpot + UX: This is a lightweight 2-column layout of Rich Text + Button modules — fully native, no custom code. It gives the “Tickets” anchor link a real destination near the top (early bird individual + 10-pack) so people see pricing before they scroll, then the “Choose this ticket” buttons jump down to the actual checkout form. Prices/labels are verbatim from the live registration pricing.

What's included with every ticket

Your in-person Texas Conference ticket includes:

Reserved arena seating for Keynotes & Power Talks

Your assigned seat for the mainstage Keynotes and Power Talks.

Interactive booths and experiences throughout the day.

Conference bookstore & author signings

*CareerWorks resume reviews, coaching, and headshots are first-come, first-served and space-limited. Every ticket also includes free access to the virtual National Conference on March 3, 2027.

HubSpot + UX: No lightboxes — for six short items, showing them all inline (icon + label + one line) is the strongest UX on a registration page: people scan it instantly and keep moving toward tickets, no clicking. Built as a 3-column layout of Icon modules + Rich Text modules — HubSpot has a native Icon module (single-color, from its built-in library) that gives exactly this clean flat look, no gradient tiles or custom code. Wording is verbatim from the live TX regional page. If any item ever needs a longer explanation, that single item can become a native Accordion — no custom code needed.

HubSpot — verified buildable: These cards (image box, rounded corners, copy underneath) are native. Build as a 5-column layout; each column = an Image module (aspect ratio 1:1, corner radius in the Styles tab) above a Rich Text module. The “More info” expand is a native Accordion module (HubSpot has one built in) — no custom code. Session times are from the live 2026 agenda: Keynote I = 9:40–11:10 AM (Hoda, Ilona, Codie); Keynote II = 2:15–3:30 PM (Kristen, Tunde). Speaker order/lineup subject to change per the site.

HubSpot — native: This is a collapsible list — HubSpot ships a built-in Accordion module (each row = time + tag + title on the header, details in the body), so no custom code. Keynotes open by default; the rest collapse to keep the scroll short — the research-backed pattern for a 13-session agenda (NN/G: use accordions for 6+ sections and mobile-first, so the page stays short by default). Content is verbatim from the live 2026 agenda at conferencesforwomen.org/tx.
