Quick summary
Convene is a single-column event invitation and RSVP landing page for trade show hosts. It opens with a handwritten script headline and unfolds like a physical trifold invite, using moody photography, deliberate pacing, and a minimal form to convert qualified buyers into confirmed attendees at a curated booth experience.
Who this template is for
This template is designed for brands and event hosts who want their trade show presence to feel genuinely exclusive. It suits professionals who are inviting a carefully selected group of buyers, not casting a wide net.
Trade show exhibitors hosting private tastings, live demos, or closed-door meetings at a booth
Brand marketers and event coordinators managing a curated guest list of distributors, buyers, or partner representatives
Companies targeting C-suite and procurement-level attendees who respond to quality over volume
What problem this template solves
Most trade show event pages look and feel like generic email blasts. They fail to communicate the intimacy or quality of the experience being offered, and they ask too much of guests who are already fatigued from hours on the show floor.
Buyers ignore invitations that feel mass-produced and impersonal
Standard registration forms create unnecessary friction for high-value guests
A generic design fails to signal that the event itself is worth changing plans for
What you get with this template
You get a fully structured, single-column flow landing page that mirrors the physical weight and warmth of a letterpress invitation. Every section is designed to build anticipation and qualify intent before the RSVP form appears.
A calligraphic script header with a pen-stroke load animation, followed by an event name, date, and booth number in clean serif type
A narrative scroll experience with edge-to-edge moody photography, subtle parallax depth, and a hand-drawn map detail rendered in gold on smoke
A concise RSVP form covering full name, company, job title, session selection, and a dietary preference toggle, with the email field pre-filled from a personalized URL

Feature list
This section covers the core capabilities built into the Convene template.
Handwritten Script Header with Animation
The headline "You're Invited" is rendered in a calligraphic typeface and loads with a slow pen-stroke animation. It creates the impression of being written in real time across a parchment background, setting the tone before a single word of body copy is read.
Trifold Narrative Scroll Structure
The page unfolds in three deliberate phases: the occasion, the experience reveal, and the registration. This mirrors the physical act of opening a folded invitation and keeps the reader moving at a considered pace rather than scanning for a button.
Edge-to-Edge Moody Photography
Rich, close-up images bleed to the full viewport width, then recede into parchment cream. Subjects include tasting glasses, warm overhead lighting, linen-draped surfaces, and product on raw walnut, each chosen to communicate craft and intimacy.
Subtle Parallax Depth Effect
A gentle parallax layer gives the photography the feeling of being pressed between heavy stock paper. The effect adds visual dimension without disrupting the slow, deliberate rhythm of the page.
Hand-Drawn Map Detail
The final visual section shows an illustrated map rendered in gold ink on a charcoal smoke background. It tells guests exactly where to find the suite, adding a tactile, artisan-crafted touch that reinforces the invitation's exclusivity.
Minimal RSVP Form with Scarcity Signal
The form requests only the details needed: full name, company, job title, a session-time dropdown, and a dietary toggle. A quiet italic line below the submit button reads "Space is limited to 30 guests," framing scarcity as courtesy rather than pressure.

Design & branding system
The visual identity follows a Warm Artisan theme, where every color decision and typographic choice communicates restraint and quality. Nothing about this palette shouts; it draws you closer.
Color system: deep wine (#722F37) anchors headlines and section dividers; charcoal smoke (#3C3535) carries body text; parchment cream (#F2E8DC) dominates the background; dull gold (#B8943E) appears on borders, monograms, and hover states
Typography: a handwritten calligraphic script for the hero headline, a clean serif for the event name and subtext, and smoke-gray italic for supporting details and scarcity copy
Visual style: no hero photograph in the header, no grids or columns in the body, negative space used intentionally to communicate that this page was made for one person
Mobile & speed optimization
The single-column layout translates naturally to smaller screens. The deliberate, vertical scroll structure means the mobile experience mirrors the desktop experience without requiring layout changes.
The edge-to-edge photography and full-width section dividers maintain visual impact across screen sizes
The minimal form, with just five fields and one toggle, keeps the conversion step frictionless on any device
How this template helps you convert
Convene is built around a single conversion goal: a completed RSVP. Every design and content decision serves that outcome.
The dual call-to-action placement keeps registration accessible at two points in the scroll. A gold-outlined button appears beneath the header; a solid merlot button appears after the experience reveal, once the reader is already invested.
The pre-filled email field, sourced from the personalized URL, removes a step from the form and signals to the guest that this invitation was prepared specifically for them, reinforcing the feeling of exclusivity that drives high-value RSVPs.
