A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila! Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Since the dot com boom of the early 2000s webinars have ever-increasingly become part of our day-to-day lives. While some industries adopted webinars as a core medium earlier than others – notably finance, information security and network technology – many of us did not experience webinars until the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 securely cemented them in the zeitgeist.
However, what has always been synonymous with webinars is lengthy registration forms – and with the rise of digital marketing and advanced CRM and marketing automation over the last 10+ years – it is hard to experience a webinar without manually filling in a large amount of data in the process.
Today, let’s look at the current state of webinar registration, and some new technology that is paving the way for webinars to be much easier to engage with.
For the past five to ten years, webinar registration has not moved very far. Almost every webinar provider, virtual event platform or marketing software relies on audience members filling out a detailed form each time they want to register for something.
This form needs to not only capture all the essential details about who that audience member is – so they can be either entered into a CRM, or attributed to an existing entry in a CRM – but forms also need to capture user consent to be sent marketing communications after the fact.
For most marketers there are two ways to do this effectively:
Organizations may choose to use a MAP form (such as Hubspot or Marketo – the market leaders in this space) to capture registrations and serve as a gate to the webinar that audiences want to watch.
The benefits of this approach are:
There are also some drawbacks:
Organizations can choose to use a webinar provider's built-in-form (such as ON24, GoToWebinar or Zoom) to capture audience details and watch the webinar too.
The benefits of this approach are:
But again, there are some downsides:
Both of the best available options today offer marketers some flexibility, but they both come with another major drawback. Most marketers send emails primarily to people they already know – but known audiences (for the most part) are still being asked to fill out a full form to watch webinars.
BrightTALK has always had a different approach to webinar registration. Since the launch of BrightTALK.com in 2008, three things have always separated BrightTALK from the competition in webinar registration.
10 years later, in 2018, BrightTALK launched the smart form. The first webinar registration experience to dynamically change fields based on information gathered about the user and produced much higher conversion rates than ever before.
By reading their IP address and referencing their email the form could change the number of fields it showed to users depending on how much information it could find out about them. This allowed the smart form to increase the number of successful registrations by asking audiences to fill out fewer fields, while still capturing the same data.
Now, five years later in 2023, BrightTALK is investing again in new technology to pave the way for the next phase of B2B webinar registration.
FastReg is a brand-new registration experience from BrightTALK that represents the next phase in webinar registration technology. Read this blog to learn more about how and why we developed FastReg.
FastReg is both a brand-new standard registration form across all content hosted on BrightTALK or embedded through BrightTALK on corporate websites, and a smart email tactic for existing contacts. The new form allows users to input minimal information and users’ real-time data lookups to cross reference that information, fill-in-the-blanks and update any outdated data. This lets new users register for a webinar by, oftentimes, just entering their email. The new email tactic, known as the FastPass URL, goes a step further by using the user information marketers have in their email database to auto-complete the form for email recipients. These users simply have to confirm their identity in a single click to register.
This technology has already enabled marketers to see significant increases on their promotions. By taking the best features of the registration tools marketers use today and combining them with BrightTALK’s 10+ years legacy of smart registration technology, FastReg delivers an experience that is flexible, convenient and targeted to solve the day-to-day challenges of demand marketers by helping them register both new users and contacts they’ve been speaking to for a long time, quickly and seamlessly.
