• Now let's build some menu to ease the navigaion
• First, a top navigation menu: Conferences, and drop down with industries
• Add a Conferences menu item to primary links, and make it expandable
• Add sub menu for life science
• Edit the view, and add Taxonomy: Term as arguments
• Add a new menu Industry Menu, and add Life Science as an item
• Add the Industry Menu block onto the left side bar and change the title to <none>

• Now let's add some more information for the conference
• Create a new page: Key Benefits, with same taxonomy as the conference
• Upload and enable Similar by terms module
• Enable the similar entries from the conference vocabulary onto left side bar
• Change it's title to Event Information

Now we have something to play with: change the themes and add more contents
