# Astro Conference templates & code starters for BCMS

## Astro Conference templates

Planning a conference site with Astro? Skip the static site headaches and plugin-heavy CMS setups.

[Astro templates & code starters for BCMS](https://www.thebcms.com/starters/astro/) give you everything you need to launch a fast, content-driven conference website: sessions, speakers, schedule, sponsors, announcements… All editable without touching the codebase.

Astro handles the frontend with its zero-JS-by-default approach, [static site generation](https://www.thebcms.com/blog/static-site-generation-vs-server-side-rendering.md), and partial hydration for interactive parts like schedule filters or RSVP forms.

BCMS powers your backend, giving you [structured content models](https://www.thebcms.com/blog/structured-content-headless-cms.md) for everything from talk descriptions and speaker bios to event logistics and sponsor listings.

Whether you're organizing an in-person, virtual, or hybrid event, this setup makes your dev workflow smooth and keeps content updates in the hands of the team, not your Git commits.

### What’s inside the Astro Conference template:

- Schema-first content models: Define structured content in BCMS for speakers, sessions, and schedules. Query only what you need, no messy parsing or data cleanup.

- Dynamic agenda without manual wiring: Skip the spreadsheets and hardcoded lists. BCMS lets you model time slots, tracks, and days as editable entries you can loop through in Astro.

- Localized content that just works: Build international conference sites using Astro's file-based routing and BCMS localization features.

- Built-in image performance: Use Astro’s <Image> component tied to BCMS media to serve optimized media assets, great for speaker headshots, sponsor logos, or venue images.

- Static site speed with zero runtime cost: Astro’s static-first build approach means your pages load fast, even under traffic spikes, great for launch day traffic or press coverage.

- Tailwind styling: Get utility-first CSS out of the box. Customize themes, spacing, and layouts.

- SEO-friendly by default: Automatically inject metadata, OG tags, and schema.org into every speaker/session page using BCMS fields. No need for external tools.

- Responsive and reliable UI: Prebuilt mobile-friendly layouts ensure attendees can view the agenda, speaker info, and venue details clearly on any device.
