An [Event type](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/event-types/introduction-to-event-types "Introduction to Event types") defines a type of meeting offered to Customers. Creating new Event types is easy, and you can create as many as you need. You can create a new Event type from scratch or [duplicate an existing Event type](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/event-types/duplicating-an-event-type "Duplicating an Event type") to copy all your settings.

In this article, you’ll learn how to create a new Event type.

## Requirements
