The first screen of the New Event Wizard will ask how you want to configure your event: Use an Event Category Template, Use Another Event as a Template or Create a Blank Event.

If you choose to select an event category template or use a past event as a template, information from the past event or event category will be copied into the current event. This information can include a timeline of standard actions, budget, attendee types, functions (including tables and seats), attendee registrations, exhibitor registrations, required resources, booths and letter templates.
