CMP Event Planning & Design 3

Question 1

Which evaluation method collects attendee feedback at multiple checkpoints during the event rather than only at the end?

Accepted Answer

Pulse survey

Answer

Pulse surveys are brief, recurring check-ins distributed throughout an event to capture real-time participant sentiment.

Question 2

A CMP candidate is reviewing food & beverage minimums for a hotel contract. The hotel quotes a $15,000 F&B minimum. This figure typically means:

Accepted Answer

The group must spend at least $15,000 on food and beverage, excluding service charges and tax

Answer

An F&B minimum is the baseline spend the client must reach on food and beverage, typically before taxes and service charges are applied.

Question 3

Which crowd flow technique uses one-directional pathways and staggered entry times to reduce congestion at a large festival?

Accepted Answer

Pulse-and-hold entry

Answer

Pulse-and-hold entry releases groups into the venue at intervals rather than all at once, smoothing crowd density and reducing bottlenecks.

Question 4

When designing an event for neurodiverse attendees, which environmental consideration is most critical?

Accepted Answer

Offering quiet rooms and sensory-friendly spaces with reduced stimulation

Answer

Quiet rooms and low-stimulation areas allow neurodiverse attendees to regulate sensory input and fully participate in the event.

Question 5

A planner is using the critical path method (CPM) for event production. The critical path is defined as:

Accepted Answer

The longest sequence of dependent tasks that determines the minimum project duration

Answer

The critical path is the longest chain of dependent activities; any delay in a critical path task delays the entire project.
