Tip: From Converia v9.2 onwards, you can alternatively create a new conference via the Backoffice dashboard when no event is selected.
Checklist
Set the conference name (using the previous year’s name as a guide if appropriate)
Enter the start and end of the event
Specify an abbreviation and an internal description
Select the primary language
Select additional event languages if required
Select the previous year’s event or the desired copy template
Check the enhanced options for copying data (these do not usually need to be changed)
Create the conference
Then select the newly created event using the search field in the Backoffice
Important: After creating the event, you are not automatically switched to the new event. You must therefore explicitly select it in the search field afterwards.
