Your event is over, and your attendees loved it! If you want to recreate the same great Webex Events experiences attendees loved without starting over, it's easy to clone your whole Event or only import certain content to a new Event. 😌

This article provides step-by-step guidance for cloning an Event or copying a few Event App features and Lead Retrieval exhibitors to a new Event.

Before you start cloning, decide which option suits your Event needs best.

Now you know that cloning an Event copies all your active products over to the new Event, and you may be wondering what exactly copies over for each product. Keep reading to find out! 📖

⭐️ Keep in mind, cloning an Event doesn't copy any attendee data or content added by attendees, such as wall posts and chats.

On the My Events page, click the three-dot icon on the Event you'd like to clone, then click Clone.

In the Clone Event modal, enter the new Event Name, select the Team whose credits you'll use for this Event, and enter a Event Starting Date/Time and Event Ending Date/Time, then click Clone Event.

A notification appears letting you know that Webex Events is copying your Event content over to the cloned Event. Once it's done, a new notification appears to let you know the cloning process is finished. Click the Click here to view link to open your cloned Event.

⭐️ Keep in mind, cloning an Event can take a few minutes to complete.

You're ready to edit your cloned Event. ✍️ Review the product content in your Event carefully and update or remove any content that doesn't apply to the cloned Event.

⚠️ Caution! Update the Event Location (if needed) before you change any Agenda session dates/times.

Let's use the Agenda feature in the Event App as an example. To quickly delete Agenda sessions, click the Features tab and edit the Agenda feature. Check the boxes next to specific sessions you want to delete, or check the Name checkbox to select all Agenda sessions. Click the three-dot icon and select Delete from the drop-down.

Click Yes to confirm that you'd like to delete the selected Agenda sessions.

If you only want to copy exhibitors over to Lead Retrieval in your new Event, or content from a few features, you can export that content from the old Event and import it to the new Event.

Follow these steps to export feature content from your old Event App and import it to your new Event App.

First, follow the instructions in our Export and Import Feature Content article to export the content you want to copy. Select all or only some of the content — the choice is yours!

After you export the content, open the export file in a spreadsheet program and delete the Unique Identifier column. Name the sheet (not the file) containing the feature data the same as the new feature name you're importing into.

If you're importing a feature that uses Internal Links, make sure you're not importing outdated links or Internal Links to features or items that don't exist in your Event.

In the following example, the exported speaker data includes Calendly links and Internal Links to other content. Either correct URLs and names or simply delete them to prevent import errors. You can edit and re-link items in the Platform later if needed.

When you're done making changes, save the file.

In the new Event, add a feature of the same type that you want to recreate, then edit it. For example, if you want to import Game feature challenges, add a new Game feature to the Event.

Edit the feature, click Import, and follow the instructions in our Export and Import Feature Content article to import the file.

First, import exhibitors or sponsors to a new Exhibitor or Sponsor feature in the Event App using the steps above. Once you're finished, you can import sponsors and exhibitors into Lead Retrieval using the steps outlined in this section.

⭐️ Keep in mind, be sure to have enough Lead Retrieval licenses in your new Event before you import sponsors and exhibitors. If you don't, you'll receive an error after trying to import and no data from the template will be added to Lead Retrieval. To purchase more licenses, reach out to your Webex Events contact, talk to our support team via live chat, or email support@socio.events.

In your old Event or Community's navigation bar under 'Lead Retrieval', click Exhibitors. On the Exhibitors page, check the boxes next to the Exhibitors you want to export, or check the box next to the 'Name' column heading to select all exhibitors. Click the three-dot icon and select Export.

After you export Exhibitors, open the export file in a spreadsheet program and delete the Unique Identifier column.

In your new Event or Community's navigation bar under 'Lead Retrieval', click Exhibitors. On the Exhibitors page, click Import and use the instructions in our Export and Import Feature Content article to import the file.

After you publish the products in your Event, be sure to check out our Best Practices for Launching and Promoting an Event article for promotion ideas!
