What is a post-registration 'Thank You' page?

A Thank You page is a web page displayed after a user completes a specific action, such as registering for an event or submitting a form. It serves multiple purposes: confirming that the action was successful, expressing gratitude, and providing users with the next steps or additional information (e.g., event details, download links, or follow-up instructions).
