Graphical Look

A teal banner across the top holds the title in white text.
A gradient gray sidebar runs along the left-hand side, housing blue numbers and black text for the agenda items.
Each numbered item is introduced by a bold, blue digit, followed by black text, providing contrast and readability.
A large, stylized icon of the letters "ABC" over an open book is centered on the right, within a circular frame that transitions from teal to orange.
