Are you putting on your event again this year or want to create a new event that is similar to one you've put on in the past?
Event owners can save time by renewing a previously created event. Most of the renewed event details are copied from the existing event. Some other details, such as dates, can easily be updated to reflect the new event information.
Note: Only the event owner can renew an event. Additional users cannot renew events owned by others.
Renew an Event
To renew an existing event:
Log into your Event account. The My Events page appears.
At the top of the My Events page, click Renew Event.
OR
From the Event Director Tasks left side menu, click Renew Event.
If you have events from multiple years, expand the year the event you want to renew was created.
From the Select event to copy drop down menu, select the event you want to renew or copy.
The Renew Event page appears showing the general event details of the copied event.
Enter all required (shown with a *) General Event details. You do not need to re-enter any event details that will remain the same as the copied event.
In the Renew Event section at the bottom of the page, select the additional event features you want to renew for your new event.

Note: Only additional event features that were already set up for the event you are renewing are available to select.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the green Renew Event button. Once your new event has been created, you can update any event information at a later date. You are not locked into the previous setup.
What to Watch Out For When Renewing
Dates, Dates, Dates!
Incorrect or outdated dates can confuse participants. Be sure to update all dates referenced in your event, not just the main event date.
Check and update the dates in the following areas:
- Event Notes
Category Name
Category Group Name
Custom Questions
Merchandise Items
Online Waivers
Dates often appear in multiple places, so be sure to double check everything to avoid inconsistencies.
