Enhanced the readability of the page by improving the structure, formatting, and clarity. Here’s a quick summary of the key changes:
1. Better Headings & Spacing: Clear section titles and line breaks for easier navigation.
2. Bullet Points for Key Info: Important details are now concise and scannable, making it easier to grasp key takeaways.
3. Improved Call to Action (CTA): The "Register Now" button is more prominent and accessible.
4. Consistent Formatting: Dates, times, and locations are clearly separated for quick reference.
