What is not duplicated?

The following settings and information are not copied over when an event is duplicated:

Details Date, Time, and Timezone*
Registrants Registrants**
Sessions - RTMP Settings RTMP sessions and channels will be created, but each channel will have a new Stream URL and Stream Key. These will need to be recopied to your third-party streaming service.
Session Redirection Settings By default, the session redirection strategy is set to Automatic for all duplicated events, even if the original event has Manual mode selected.
Integrations - Hubspot, Marketo, Salesforce, Slack, Slack + Salesforce, Eloqua, Pardot, Webhooks Settings and Activities
Integrations - Drift Chat Bot and Landing Page settings
Integrations - Wistia Project 
Event Repeating Frequency If you duplicate a repeating event, the repeating frequency doesn't get carried over. 

 

Heads up! 

  • You set the Date, Time and Time zone when duplicating an event.
  • When duplicating an event, people who registered for the original event are not automatically registered for the new event. 
 

 

What gets duplicated?

Besides the settings mentioned above, all other event information, assets, and settings are copied to the new event. 

  • Registration page and form
  • Agenda
  • Speakers
  • Assets like slides, videos, polls, surveys, resources
  • Engagement settings
  • Event branding, including look & feel settings
  • Email settings
  • Vanity URLs
  • Tracking pixels
  • SSO login settings
  • Rooms and booths

Attention! When duplicating an event that includes multiple rooms and booths, please note that the original order may not be preserved in the duplicate. However, you can rearrange the rooms and booths as needed for the new event, ensuring that they meet your specific requirements. 

 

Pro Tip: Review the Look & Feel section to double-check if the branding for the duplicated event has the correct assets. For instance, the social media image might need to be updated to match the new date & time.
