Convocation – Event and Conference WordPress Theme Overview
Convocation – Event and Conference WordPress Theme is a responsive WordPress design for events, conferences and single-occasion landing pages. The vendor notes that it also adapts well to a corporate business website, which gives it some flexibility beyond a one-off event.
The theme is developed by imithemes and was first released in 2016. It is built on Twitter Bootstrap and includes a drag-and-drop page builder, Revolution Slider and the Convocation Core plugin. The listing’s update history shows regular maintenance through October 2025, with compatibility updates for WordPress 6.8 and support for newer PHP versions along the way.
Convocation’s standout practical feature is a fully functional registration form, so attendees can sign up directly on the site. You can build the whole event as a single scrolling page or spread it across multiple pages, and twelve prebuilt colour schemes, plus unlimited custom colours, make it easy to match an event’s branding without design work.

Who Convocation – Event and Conference WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Convocation fits Canadian organizers who need a straightforward event site with registration built in, such as a regional summit in Regina, a professional development day for teachers in Nova Scotia or an alumni reunion weekend. The one-page layout is well suited to a single event where visitors need the date, venue map, agenda and sign-up form on one screen.
Because it also works as a corporate site, small companies that host an annual client event or seminar series can use Convocation for both their business pages and event promotion. Conference organizers who prefer a classic, clean look over a heavily animated one will find its structure easy to follow.
Important Notes About Convocation – Event and Conference WordPress Theme
The registration form does not process payments on its own; if you charge for attendance, a payment solution must be added and tested. The most recent update listed is October 2025, so confirm compatibility with current WordPress and PHP versions before launch. Demo images are not included, and the licence covers one site.
Registration forms collect personal information, so attendees should be told how their data will be used under Canadian privacy law. If you charge fees, publish a clear refund and cancellation policy that follows your province’s consumer rules. The business owner is responsible for compliance.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi

AppiAppi installs the theme with its core plugin and Revolution Slider, picks a one-page or multi-page structure with you, and fills it with your event name, colours, agenda, speakers, venue map and sponsor details. We configure the registration form, confirmation messages and contact options, and make sure the layout reads well on phones.
After the site goes live, AppiAppi provides AI-assisted SEO and content support, updates schedules and speaker lists as plans change, applies theme and plugin updates, and responds to registration questions and general enquiries for you.
