Event cloning
To save time and avoid rework, the platform offers the ability to clone an existing event to allow you to use the clone as the starting point for a new event.
To clone an event, go to the events list page and click the “Clone“ button for the event you want to clone:
After clicking the button, a pop-up appears:
Check the “Exhibitors and their products“ checkbox if you want exhibitors and their products to be included in the new event. Please note that products will be inactive by default in the cloned event.
When this box is checked, another 3 checkboxes will appear:
Product category relations – when checked, exhibitors will have the same Activity and Interest categories and products will have same product categories.
Retain Product Status During Clone – when checked, products will have the same status as on the original event.
Exhibitors' brands remain – when checked, all the elements of the Brand will be the same in the newly cloned event: Exhibitors attached to the brand, Products, Logo, Product Categories, About, and Social media. Please note - interactions with brands remain unique to each event.
This table outlines other items that are/are not cloned:

Next, select if whether the new event is a real event or a test event by clicking the relevant button. The only differences are that the external domain for the frontend is not available for a test event and that creating a new real event may impact your billing.
After clicking one of those 2 buttons cloning will begin:
