How to Update the Cover Image in Exhibitor Zone 2

The cover image displayed within Exhibitor Zone 2 is a key visual element that represents your event as a whole and helps set the tone for the exhibitor experience.

This image appears globally across the Exhibitor Zone, rather than on individual exhibitor profile pages (which use their own separate imagery). Keeping this cover image up to date ensures consistent branding while also supporting performance and SEO best practices.
