Have any of you done a photo gallery on your site?  If so, what is the best/easiest way to import a bunch of pics?

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but we use the Social Wall widget feature to post an online gallery to our company's internal site - instant updates, and is a great way to share what is going on at the event with those not in attendance, and it can be archived post-event.

I use Adobe Spark and it appears like a slideshow video on our website. It's also free

It will depend if you have software to create the collage as one image, and then upload into Cvent according the image parameters. Alternatively, I make a table and insert an image in each cell then create borders and adjust cell spacing and padding.

We use Canva to make a collage and drop that in.

So many photo gallery good ideas here! Question: is this just to promote your event, or do you want your attendees to be able to download photos, too? I do recommend standardizing on an orientation (portrait VS landscape) and getting a consistent pixel size and/or ratio. I.E. all photos be landscape orientation, 3x2 ratio, and a minimum of 1200 x 800 pixels. 

Hope this helps!
