  <p>At least this allows you to import events... I've not actually used it to bulk change a field in existing events, but I 'think' it might be possible. </p>
  
  <p>You would need to export the events in question, and in Drupal I use Views to do that. From that export you can make a csv with the correct field(s) and data, and on import create a field map to put the new data into the correct place. </p>

  I want them all to be the new, same type. Do I have to go into each event configuration separately to change the event type?</p>

  If the events are all part of a [repeating event](https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/stable/events/repeating-events/) series, then you should be able to change them by changing one, and selecting the option to change all related events.
  
  Otherwise, I'm afraid there's no built-in way to bulk change event types. If you know what you're doing with the API Explorer or MySQL, you can bulk change the event type on the back end - there's no real harm unless you have custom fields tied to the old event type, in which case they might show up unexpectedly on a report.
