How much of the programme belongs on the landing page?
Enough to show the shape: the times, the short titles, the names. The detail, the full abstracts and the running order changes, belongs on the session pages. The landing page earns the registration; it does not have to win the argument alone.
Should the page list prices or tickets?
No, and this product cannot sell either. Registration here means free sign-up against a seat count. If the event genuinely charges admission, that belongs on a page built for ticketing, and honest wording should not blur the line.
Do photos of speakers matter?
They help where the person consents, because a face reads faster than a paragraph of credentials. A name and one solid fact carries most of the weight on its own, so missing headshots are a reason to delay a launch by nothing at all.
Where should the registration button sit?
At the top, where the decision is often made, and again at the bottom, for readers who scroll to think it over. The same action both times, described the same way, so the page reads like one voice made one offer.
