Modern theme - a quick overview

TLDR: No action is required for your existing events. You can also continue to use the existing "Classic" theme for your future events too, but the newly introduced "Modern" theme introduces some additional benefits over the "Classic" theme.

What is the "Modern" theme?

You now have not one but two theme options to choose from when you create your event registration pages. The newly introduced theme is titled "Modern" while the existing theme is now called "Classic".
