Duplicating an event creates a new event pre-filled with an existing event's setup. Attendees, orders, and statistics do not carry over — the duplicate starts with a clean attendee list. Use it when you run a recurring event or a series and want to reuse a finished setup instead of starting from scratch. You will find the feature under Event settings, on the Danger zone tab.
Getting started
Decide whether duplicating is the right tool. It fits when the new event has a similar format and you only need to change the date and adjust the content. For a genuinely different event, creating a new one from scratch is cleaner.
Know up front what does not carry over — attendees, orders, discount codes, and ticket statistics stay with the original event. For a recurring event that is what you want: you start the new event with an empty attendee list.
Open Event settings → Danger zone and click Duplicate event. A new event is created, which you then edit.
Details
What carries over into the duplicate
Essentially the whole "skeleton" of the event carries over — how it looks, what it asks the attendee, and how you communicate with them:
Basic event, language, graphics, and e-mail settings.
Content and engagement feature settings — except the Online module settings.
The Registration form and microsite settings.
The Invitation and Confirmation e-mail settings.
The Tickets settings.
The Online module (livestream, video, 3D, and social wall) is the one exception: its settings do not carry into the duplicate. If you use it at your event, set it up again in the duplicate.
What does not carry over
Attendees and attendee data.
Orders, discount codes, and ticket statistics.
Push notifications and announcements.
These are data from a specific run of the event, not setup. So the new event starts clean — no people, no sales history, no sent notifications. Re-create any discount codes you want to reuse by hand in the duplicate.
Where to find the feature
Duplicating lives under Event settings, on the Danger zone tab — the same tab as Delete event. Danger zone groups high-impact actions; duplicating belongs there because it creates a new event.
Common pitfalls
The duplicate is named after the original and needs renaming
The new event is created with a copy-marking prefix in front of the original event's name, so you can tell the two apart in your list — but it is not a name you want to keep. Rename the duplicate and check the date and time zone right after you create it, so attendees do not end up looking at a prefixed name or last year's date.
The Online module settings do not carry into the duplicate
If your event uses the Online module, its configuration is missing in the duplicate — it is the one exception among the content and engagement features that carry over. Set it up again after duplicating, or the online part of the event stays empty.
An event with the legacy Agenda cannot be duplicated
If the event uses the legacy Agenda (the older content feature for the event schedule, which new events no longer offer), Duplicate event does not create a copy and the admin shows This event contains the legacy Agenda and cannot be duplicated safely. Create a new event with the current Agenda instead. The original event stays unchanged. Create the new event with + New event and build its schedule in the current Agenda; the steps are in Building the event Agenda — architecture.
Duplicating sits in Danger zone right next to permanent deletion
The same tab also holds Delete event, which removes the event permanently. Duplicate event is safe — it only creates a new event — but deletion is not. Check which button you are clicking before you click.
