How to Clone an Existing Event Page

The Clone Event feature allows you to quickly create a new event by reusing content and settings from an existing event—whether it is an upcoming, live, or past event. Instead of creating an event from scratch, you can duplicate key event details, saving time while ensuring consistency across recurring or similar events.

With the latest enhancement, organizers now have greater control over the cloning process by choosing which optional event components to include in the cloned event.

Benefits of Cloning an Event

Using the Clone Event feature helps you:

Save time by reusing existing event configurations.
Maintain consistent branding and event settings.
Quickly create recurring or similar events.
Choose which optional event modules to copy.
Reduce manual setup and configuration.

How to Clone an Existing Event

Step 2: Navigate to Your Dashboard

From the Dashboard, locate the event you want to duplicate.

You can clone:

Upcoming events
Live events
Past events

Step 3: Select Clone Event

Click the Gear (Settings) icon next to the event.
Select Clone Event from the menu.

The Clone Event dialog will open.

The Clone Event popup provides greater flexibility by allowing you to decide which event components should be copied into the new event.

The popup contains two categories of event data:

Mandatory Items (always copied)
Optional Items (can be selected or deselected)

Note: Optional items are displayed only if they exist in the original event.

Mandatory Items (Always Copied)

The following components are essential to the event and are automatically copied. These options are pre-selected and cannot be deselected.

Event Description
Logo
Venue
Custom Content Blocks
Payment Settings
Ticket Types
Custom Questions
Discount Codes
Customized Content Data
Event FAQs

These settings ensure that the core structure and configuration of your event are preserved.

Optional Items (Can Be Turned Off)

If the original event contains any of the following modules, they will appear as selectable checkboxes in the Clone Event popup.

You may choose whether or not to copy:

Speakers
Sponsors
Surveys
Exhibitors
Media Gallery

Simply uncheck any optional component that you do not want to include in the cloned event.

Note: Optional modules are displayed only if they are available in the source event.

What Needs to Be Updated After Cloning?

Although most event details are copied, some information should be reviewed and updated before publishing your new event.

These include:

Event name (if applicable)
Event dates and times
Ticket sale start and end dates
Registration availability
Event URL
Any event-specific content or announcements

Review all copied information carefully to ensure it reflects your new event.

What Is Not Copied?

The following items are intentionally excluded during the cloning process:

Event URL (a unique URL is generated for every event)
Orders
Attendees
Digital Resources
Schedule / Agenda

These items must be recreated or configured separately if required.

Finalizing Your Cloned Event

After cloning is complete, you will be redirected to the newly created event.

Before publishing, we recommend reviewing:

Event information
Tickets and pricing
Registration settings
Dates and times
Payment settings
Optional modules
Event content

Make any necessary updates before making the event live.
