Change your event dates

Written by Benjamin Dell

HeySummit normally sets your event start and end dates from your scheduled talks. In most cases, changing the dates of your event means changing the dates of the talks in that event.


​

Change a single talk date

  1. Open your event dashboard.

  2. Go to Content & Schedule > Sessions.

  3. Open the ... menu next to the talk and choose Manage Session.

  4. On Details, update Publish Date in the Timing section.

  5. Select Save and Close.

When Auto Set Start & End Dates? is turned on, HeySummit updates the event start date from the earliest active talk date and the event end date from the latest active talk date.


​

Move the whole schedule

To move your scheduled sessions together, go to Content & Schedule > Sessions, open the ... menu in the list toolbar, and select Shift Session Start Times. Choose the new start date and time for the earliest session. HeySummit shifts the other eligible dated sessions by the same difference in the event timezone, keeping their spacing. This tool is unavailable for on-demand events. Review the preview before applying the change.


​

If a talk has already finished

Past session dates are locked in the Details editor. Follow Change it in Advanced Settings, or open the session's Advanced Settings from its Actions menu. In Reset Session, enter the new date in Reset Date To, select Save, and review the confirmation. Leave Remove Attendees? off if you want to retain the session's registrations. Removing attendees cannot be undone.


​

Manually set event start and end dates

Only set event start and end dates manually when you have a specific reason not to use talk dates.

  1. Go to Event Settings > Event Basics.

  2. In Event Dates, turn off Auto Set Start & End Dates?.

  3. Enter both a Start Date and an End Date.

  4. Save the event settings.

Event dates affect areas such as event status, schedule visibility, ticket timing, and emails that are based on the event start or end date. If you manually override the event dates, review any scheduled emails and date-based settings to make sure they still line up.
