Duplicating an Event
Running a similar event again? Duplicating saves you time by copying all the details from a previous event, so you only need to update what's different.
Why duplicate events
Run recurring events — monthly workshops, quarterly meetups
Create series — multiple sessions of the same content
Save setup time — don't start from scratch
Maintain consistency — keep branding and format the same
Reduce errors — fewer fields to fill means fewer mistakes
How to duplicate an event
Go to Events Management
Find the event you want to copy
Click on the event to open it
Click Duplicate or the copy icon
A new event is created in draft mode

Updating the duplicate
Essential changes
Always update these for your new event:
Event Date and Time — when is the new event?
Registration Opens — when can people register?
Registration Closes — deadline for registration
Event Title — if you need to differentiate (e.g., add date)
Optional updates
Consider updating:
Description — if content differs
Venue — if location changes
Ticket prices — if pricing has changed
Capacity — if venue size differs
Sponsors — if sponsors have changed
Ticket date adjustments
For ticket types with sale dates:
Open each ticket type
Update Sales Start date
Update Sales End date
Save changes
Creating event series
For events that run regularly:
Naming conventions
Help attendees understand which event is which:
"Marketing Workshop — February 2026"
"Monthly Networking: March Edition"
"Introduction to Photography (Session 3)"
Series management tips
Duplicate your template event each time
Use consistent naming patterns
Update dates and any content changes
Keep a "template" event unpublished for future copies
Template events
Create a reusable template:
Setting up a template
Create an event with all standard details
Don't publish it
Name it clearly (e.g., "[TEMPLATE] Monthly Workshop")
When you need a new event, duplicate the template
Template benefits
Never lose your standard setup
Quick to create new instances
Easy to update the template for all future events
Duplicating for different audiences
Use duplication to run the same event for different groups:
Examples
Same workshop for different regions
Morning and afternoon sessions
In-person and online versions
Process
Duplicate the original event
Update title to reflect the variant
Adjust venue or meeting link
Set appropriate dates
Consider different pricing if relevant
Bulk event creation
Running many similar events?
Multiple duplicates
Duplicate your template event
Update and publish
Repeat for each instance needed
Planning ahead
Consider:
Setting up a quarter's worth of events at once
Publishing in batches (e.g., monthly)
Staggering registration opens to spread demand

Managing multiple events
With several events running:
Use clear, consistent naming
Keep an event calendar
Review registrations across all events
Archive past events regularly
Archiving old events
After events are complete:
Events move to "Past Events" automatically
You can still access them for reference
Use past events as duplication sources
Delete or archive events you no longer need
Tips for efficient event management
Start with a good template — invest time once, save time always
Consistent naming — makes finding events easier
Batch create — set up multiple events in one session
Update templates — when you improve your process, update the template
Archive regularly — keep your event list manageable
