Conditional statements for alternate page headers if, elseif, else

    I have a local WP install I’m working on and the header for the blog has a full width image with text overlay. This will be fine for all but 2 other pages of the site that need custom image/ text in this same position.

    I have a child theme where I have customized the default header, but I want to add the code for the 2 alternate pages into the header file using if/elseif/else statements and I’m new at writing this stuff so a little help would be greatly appreciate.

    Can someone please see if what I’m trying to do will work? Thanks!

    <?php if (is_page ( 'upcoming-conferences' )) {
MY HTML CODE HERE;
} elseif ( is_page ( 'in-the-news' )) {
MY HTML CODE HERE;
} else {
THE DEFAULT HTML CODE HERE;
} ?>

    I just tried it and got a blank white screen on all pages.

    I found the answer for the proper format here:
    How to Write WordPress If Statements

    <?php if ( is_page('upcoming-conferences') ): ?>

   MY HTML FOR UPCOMING CONFERENCES HERE

<?php elseif (is_page('in-the-news') ): ?>

   MY HTML FOR IN THE NEWS HERE

<?php else: ?>

   MY HTML FOR HOME AND ALL OTHER PAGES HERE

<?php endif ?>
