  2. When planning audio-visual requirements, what does 'IMAG' stand for?

    Answer: Image Magnification

    IMAG (Image Magnification) uses cameras and large screens to broadcast a live close-up of the speaker so all attendees can see clearly.

  3. What is the purpose of a 'run of show' document in convention management?

    The run of show is a minute-by-minute production document used by all event-day staff and vendors to stay synchronized.

  4. In exhibition and trade show planning, what is a 'decorator' (or 'general service contractor')?

    Answer: A company that provides furnishings, signage, and labor for exhibit floor installation

  5. Which lighting technique uses colored lights aimed at walls or draping to transform the mood of a meeting room or ballroom?

    Answer: Uplighting

    Uplighting places LED fixtures on the floor and directs colored light upward onto walls or architectural features to set event atmosphere.

  6. What is the recommended minimum ceiling height for a standard rear-screen projection setup in a meeting room?

  7. A 'guarantee' in food and beverage contracting refers to:

    Answer: The final confirmed number of guests the client agrees to pay for regardless of actual attendance

    The F&B guarantee is the headcount submitted to the caterer by the deadline, and the client pays for that number even if fewer people attend.
