# Creating an Event
To create an event, go to **Events** in the top navigation and click **New event**. Unless you copy an existing event, your new event will be created with default settings and no fields on the registration form. You will need to select an Event date, and a date that registrations close on.

If you want to base your new event on an existing one, use the **Duplicate** option from the event list. Click the three-dot menu next to the event you want to copy and select **Duplicate**. You can then edit the duplicated event as needed.

Each event has a unique URL that is used for registration. You can find this on the Event Dashboard at any time.
The event date and close registrations date can be updated at any time from the **Edit Details and Settings** option.
